Introduction
Defined benefit pension schemes give rise to significant legal, financial and regulatory risks.
We can help you to navigate these through our specialist expertise and understanding of the UK's evolving legal and regulatory framework for DB schemes.
Our experience includes advising corporate sponsors, trustees, buy-out insurers and investors on the risks associated with M&A transactions, re-financing and corporate restructuring involving a company or group that sponsors a DB scheme. We also advise on scheme funding arrangements, de-risking and buy-out transactions.
