I advise trustees and employers on a wide range of DB and DC pensions issues.

My experience includes advising on derisking, GMP equalisation and rectification projects, pensions taxation issues, data protection, member disputes, as well as day-to-day pension administration queries. I also have experience advising in relation to cross-border transactional issues involving scheme sponsors.

I have a particular interest in helping pension scheme trustees navigate tricky legal areas to achieve the right result for their scheme. I enjoy getting to know our trustee clients and finding out what matters most to them when making decisions for their schemes.
