Pensions Litigation

About

Provided by Sacker & Partners LLP

We advise pension scheme trustees and employers on all categories of dispute from member complaints right through to appeal court litigation. For a number of clients we act alongside, or effectively as, their in-house disputes team.


Our expert litigators, led by partner Peter Murphy, act for both claimants and respondents in all forms of pensions litigation. This includes High Court trustee applications, contentious regulatory investigations and proceedings, investment related claims involving pension schemes, professional negligence claims and mediations, and Pensions Ombudsman and Financial Ombudsman complaints.


In addition to pure litigation work, the team provides regular risk management and dispute resolution advice that helps to nip any issues in the bud. We also provide advice on the issues relating to pension schemes’ participation in shareholder class actions both in the UK and abroad, including tailored protocols and guidance notes.


More information about who we are and what we do can be found at our website www.sackers.com.
