Pensions

Pensions legislation changes on an almost daily basis.  In fact, it is hard to think of a more rapidly changing area of the law. Government policy (and the legislation that gives effect to it) twists and turns from one month to the next. However rigorous and thorough you might be, it is likely to be a struggle to keep up.

So when it comes to pensions law, and the pitfalls surrounding it, you need to work with a team of experts you can trust. A team which is up-to-the-minute with changes in legislation, regulation and policy. A team which will focus on and understand the needs of your business.  And a team which will help you avoid problems in the future.

The Pensions team at Charles Russell does just that. We are well-known for being approachable, personable and flexible. For dealing with issues quickly and effectively. And for giving sensible, solution-orientated advice in a clear, concise way.

Our pensions lawyers also work closely with our employment, corporate and tax experts; which means we can give you a genuinely seamless service, without the strict boundaries often associated with standalone pensions practices. And that, in turn, means holistic solutions and a smooth ride.

Our expertise includes: 

• Establishing, amending and re-documenting occupational pension arrangements
• Ongoing advice for employers and trustees alike on all aspects of their schemes
• Negotiating and documenting mergers, reorganisations, closures and wind-ups
• Advising on unapproved top-up arrangements for senior executives
