Pensions

About

Provided by Herbert Smith Freehills

Our clients include corporates and trustees, professional advisers, insurers, and public and regulatory bodies, and we are experienced across the full range of both DB and DC pension provision. Our reputation and experience mean that we are instructed on some of the largest, most complex and strategically important pension mandates for our clients. These include some of the largest pension risk transfers to the (re)insurance market, complex asset backed funding arrangements, regulatory investigations and restructurings. We pride ourselves on bringing an innovative and creative approach to our work and to partnering with our clients to find solutions and resolve challenges, and we offer a truly multi-disciplinary service, drawing on our specialist finance, employment, insolvency, tax, public law and financial services colleagues. Examples of our instructions include advising Pension Insurance Corporation plc on a range of bulk annuity transfers, Time Warner on its liability driven investment strategy, and TUI Travel and Severn Trent on asset backed funding structures.

The global nature of the Firm means that we can bring together advice on pensions regimes across multiple overseas jurisdictions.

The UK pensions landscape is constantly changing. We ensure that we are at the forefront of thought leadership, through positions on industry panels and committees.
