Working in such a dynamic sector, you need legal advice from people who know the territory inside out. We have one of the biggest teams of dedicated pensions and retirement plan lawyers in the world. We will do the hard work for you: we’ll advise you in your language - in simple terms - and make what are often very complex problems as comprehensible and straightforward as possible.
We can keep you ahead of the curve - we are represented on and work directly with the bodies making law and policy, in the UK, Europe, EMEA and the US. This means we can advise you on the basis of where we know the law is going, not based on where it was yesterday.
You won’t just get stock answers from us. We are creative in our approach, and we will always go the next step and solve problems in innovative ways, to secure the best and most cost-effective outcomes for your business.
It’s our breadth of experience in the area - with every type of pension and retirement plan, for employers and providers or retirement plan products and services - that will help you navigate a challenging marketplace and regulatory environment. We are thought-leaders: our attorneys have gone on to leadership positions at the US Treasury Department, and we’ve won multiple awards for our work. We work for the biggest in global business, but also many smaller companies, so whatever your size, we understand your legal and commercial needs.
