Pensions

Pension matters have never been so challenging. Our Pensions team uses its detailed knowledge of pensions law to tackle issues around affordability, business survival, HR policy and retirement savings options.

Radical upheavals in the pensions industry – coupled with rapidly changing legislation and case law – present difficult choices for employers, trustees and scheme members.

That is why our legal advice is always constructive and pragmatic with a recognition that the decisions made today will have an impact on employers’ costs, scheme management and members’ lives for many years to come.

It has never been more important to offer our pensions clients dedicated expertise from a range of legal disciplines. We work in combination with the Finance team (on the establishment of security structures), the Insolvency & Restructuring team (on distressed employer restructurings and scheme entry to the Pension Protection Fund) and the Commercial Property and Intellectual Property teams (on alternative asset funding structures) as well as the Family team (on matrimonial pension issues).
