Pensions & Benefits

Setting up, administering and investing pension and benefit plans is complicated. Understanding how the elements work together in the legal framework is key to your business’s success. Businesses need professionals who can advise on pension and benefit needs across Canada.

Our Pensions and Benefits group works with businesses and in-house counsel to ensure effective and successful outcomes. We were one of Canada’s first law firms to work extensively in pension plans and fund governance. Our professionals have extensive experience across multiple areas that touch pension and benefit plans, including pension law, employment, litigation, tax and transactions. We also have deep expertise regarding the investment of pension assets.

Members of our team participate in professional organizations, industry groups and advocacy on law reform in the pension, benefits and investment fields.

We’ve advised clients across aerospace and defence, automobiles and parts, commercial and professional services, energy, financial services, healthcare, insurance, technology, and transportation industries, and in the public sector.

We work with plan administrators, employers, boards of directors, trustees, consulting firms, regulators and investment managers in all aspects of pension and benefit arrangements. Our team members have extensive experience advising on complex issues arising from multi-jurisdictional arrangements.
