Pensions

Expert pensions legal advice and support. 

Specialist pension lawyers

Pensions are an essential part of an employer offering to employees, one that’s vital to existing and prospective employees. Pensions law is also multifaceted and fast-moving, and in an area that’s strictly regulated, having a client-focused and agile advisor with you can be hugely beneficial.

If you are looking to review your scheme to make it more sustainable, to achieve the best value for employees or to factor pensions into your succession planning, we are well placed to help you. We also understand how important getting pension fund schemes right can be for corporate transactions and mergers.
