Pensions

Clients are quick to praise the team's "technical knowledge, willingness to think laterally and constructive attitude."

- Chambers UK, 2011

"TLT far exceeds other firms in speed, effectiveness, cost, efficiency and overall performance."

- Kevin Doran, Vice President Human Resources, PQ Corporation

TLT's dedicated team of specialist pensions lawyers has built a formidable reputation for providing clear solutions to help employers or trustees achieve their aims.

The team advises employers and trustees in the public and private sectors on all aspects of pension law, including defined benefit, defined contribution and 'hybrid' schemes and the implementation of auto enrolment.

The team of independently recognised experts is supported by further experts who combine knowledge of pensions within their main disciplines of pensions litigation, employment, corporate, banking, insolvency and real estate law.

In response to increased demand from clients, the team developed a specialist Pensions Investment Team which combines the skills of experienced pensions, banking and capital market lawyers to offer a comprehensive service to clients. Recent projects include advising on buy-in of pensioner liabilities, investment management, custody, transition and fiduciary management agreements and advising on swaps, derivatives and other hedging arrangements.

The Financial Times has highly commended our innovative pensions extranet which it described as "a ground breaking resource for pension trustees". The extranet helps trustees comply with the requirement to know their scheme and reduces adviser costs, by providing easy access to the most up to date version of a scheme's trust deed and rules.
