Pensions

Our pensions team has an established reputation for offering pragmatic advice to private and public sector organisations of all sizes. From advising on the day-to-day management of trust-based occupational pension schemes and pension disputes, to the complexities of public sector pension schemes and pension issues around corporate acquisitions and restructurings.

Overview
