Private Pensions

The firm advises on the full spectrum of private pension matters, including the structuring, implementation, amendment and management of pension plans; regulatory advice before the relevant supervisory authorities; tax issues affecting pension funds, sponsors and beneficiaries; governance and fiduciary obligations; compliance programmes; investment and funding-related matters; and administrative and judicial disputes involving pension entities, sponsors, participants and beneficiaries.

The team is particularly active in strategic advisory work involving closed pension entities, pension plan liabilities, sponsor obligations, benefit rules, plan amendments, risk management, regulatory investigations and contentious matters arising from the operation, restructuring or termination of pension arrangements.

The firm is especially recognised for its technical expertise in pension fund taxation, pension plan structuring and management, regulatory compliance, governance of pension entities and dispute resolution involving pension funds.

Its differentiating strengths include the ability to combine private pensions expertise with tax, regulatory, corporate and litigation knowledge, allowing the team to advise on complex matters involving plan liabilities, sponsor obligations, fiduciary duties, administrative proceedings and sensitive disputes with participants and beneficiaries.
