Anna Rogers

Anna advises clients running defined benefit occupational pension schemes.

Her current focus is on planning for a smooth journey to winding-up and a clean break from residual risk for trustees and sponsors. Recent work includes holistic ‘reality checks’ on benefit structure, benefit specifications, documentation exercises, liability management, insurance risk transfer and other forms of settlement and trustee protection. She has wide experience with bulk purchase annuity transactions and benefit corrections on a ‘self-help’ basis, as well as funding and winding-up agreements, and avoiding, using and releasing surplus including trapped surplus. Anna advises DB schemes of all sizes on these issues, as well as ongoing compliance, governance, risk management and strategic planning.

Anna has advised clients through all the significant legal and regulatory pensions developments unfolding over time and has experience with many scheme mergers, demergers, and the pensions aspects of UK and international corporate transactions.
