I advise pension scheme trustees on a wide range of DB and DC pensions issues, from large projects (such as buy-ins, scheme mergers, bulk transfers, and GMP equalisation projects) to everyday issues (including pension taxation issues, member disputes, contracts and data protection issues). One of the things I love about working in pensions is that you get to make a different impact every day.

My clients include trustees of pension schemes in the finance, logistics, energy and services industries. I act for clients both large and small, and I enjoy getting to know our trustee clients and finding out what matters most to them. I have a particular interest in pensions taxation.

My aim is to distil the (often technical) world of pensions law into practical steps that allow trustees to achieve the right result for their schemes.

Recent experience
