Pensions

We regularly act on a variety of pensions-related transactions for our clients, particularly as part of our legal assistance to public authorities across the country in relation to managing their respective workforces and in delivering successful organisational restructuring in order to achieve the best commercial solution.

In conjunction with our top-rated procurement team, our pensions’ team are well versed in advising on the pensions implications of staff transfers under the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations (TUPE).

We have additionally prepared, advised on and negotiated the terms of numerous pension scheme admission agreements and are familiar with a variety of ‘pass-through’ and risk-sharing agreements, including ‘cap and collar’ arrangements. In addition, we have acted for both transferring employees and many admission authorities in relation to admission agreements under the Local Government Pension Scheme.
