What the Team is Known For
Strengths
I have been impressed with Eversheds' ability to handle complex and sophisticated matters.
With offices throughout the country and internationally, Eversheds Sutherland has considerable strength in depth.
Eversheds is particularly strong at explaining legal process and legal arguments to lay trustees who are not used to dealing with such matters.
Work Highlights
Eversheds represent the Trustees of the NTL Pension Plan in a case concerning whether historic amendments to defined benefit pension schemes were valid if no actuarial confirmation was provided in respect of those amendments.
Notable practitioners
