Increasingly, HR professionals find that they are becoming more involved in implementing their organisation’s pensions packages. We advise employers and trustees on all issues affecting pension schemes and retirement benefits. This includes dealing with final salary pension schemes, money purchase and stakeholder plans as well as the other executive pension arrangements that now exist.

The team deals with the following matters:

• administration of pension trusts and trustee issues
• advice on internal dispute procedures
• closure of schemes to new entrants and future service
• consultation with employees over future benefit changes
• establishment of new pension schemes
• modification of final salary schemes
• pension scheme mergers
• trustee education and training
