About

Provided by Eversheds Sutherland

Our pensions scheme disputes lawyers have the experience, top-tier ranking and pragmatic approach to resolve any pensions scheme problems.

Pensions scheme disputes often carry high stakes in terms of both reputation and value. This, combined with their complexity, means you will need lawyers with deep experience and a trusted reputation for pragmatic and effective dispute resolution.

We have a proven track record for high quality legal advice, combined with a flexible, cost-sensitive approach to pensions disputes. Whether you’re a trustee, an employer or a pensions provider or adviser, our aim is always to minimize risk and resolve potential disputes where possible, working creatively to ensure the best outcome for you. Where litigation is unavoidable, we will work to resolve your case as quickly, discreetly and amicably as possible.

Our lawyers have been involved in much of the key pension scheme litigation of the past 25 years, which has provided us with invaluable experience in advising clients on member complaints, court proceedings to resolve problems with pension documents, professional negligence proceedings, dealings with the Pensions Ombudsman and Financial Ombudsman Service, and investigations by the Pensions Regulator. We have dealt with some of the most complicated and high value cases in this area, and it’s this dedicated experience we can bring to bear for you.
