Pensions
Our pensions team has an established reputation for offering pragmatic advice to a range of private and public sector organisations. The field of pensions is constantly evolving, and we use our technical knowledge and commercial acumen to provide clear, solution-driven advice.
Overview
We can help you navigate the increasing complexities and regulatory framework that pensions operate in. Each organisation has different requirements, and we will work with you to understand your unique circumstances and challenges – helping you find a solution aligned to your business goals.
We advise multiple stakeholders, including employers, trustees, insurers, and consultant clients on all aspects of pension law and practice in both the private and public sectors. We can advise on the full range of pension issues, including:
- The setting up and day-to-day running of trust-based occupational pension schemes, personal pension schemes, life assurance schemes, and private healthcare trusts, including regulatory, compliance, and operational matters
- Issues arising from participating in, and managing, public service pension schemes
- Transactions and projects, including the pensions aspects of corporate acquisitions/disposals and restructurings
- The legal aspects of investment matters and scheme funding, including buy-ins and buy-outs
Above all, clients tell us they value advice that is clear, practical, and helps them respond to emerging issues. Our approach is designed to help you make informed decisions quickly, respond effectively, and achieve your commercial objectives.
