Our team of pension lawyers is well-established, operating nationally over several locations. We advise clients on a broad mix of business pension matters ranging from advice on benefit queries to major projects such as scheme wind-ups
Although many pension schemes can face similar problems and concerns, we recognise that every corporate pension scheme is unique and pride ourselves on providing tailored and practical advice.
Our advice combines sound legal analysis with an understanding of the factual background. Whether advising the trustees or the scheme sponsor, we strive to provide workable solutions for you. We do not want to provide you with a thesis; we want to provide you with a practical recommendation.
