Our pensions team is one of the largest in the UK with a national client base and reputation.

We provide a full pensions law advice service to both employers and pension scheme trustees, working with some of the UK’s largest companies and schemes, across a range of sectors, as well as public service and voluntary organisations.

Our work encompasses the full range of legal advice in relation to UK pension schemes from day-to-day benefit queries and member complaints to large scale restructuring and liability management projects.

The team works closely with our pensions litigation practice when our clients need their input and can draw on other areas of the firm, such as wider employment, investment and tax specialisms, to provide a seamless quality of service. Whatever your needs, we work hard to listen to you, ask the right questions and tailor our advice to get you the right result.

A number of our team members have in-house, industry or other specialist experience which helps us to identify practical and commercial solutions for our clients. We also have close links to the key pensions regulatory bodies, in particular through secondment of staff to the Pension Protection Fund. This level of industry insight and expertise is what helps us stand out from the crowd.
