My work involves managing a huge range of legal questions for traditional occupational pension schemes and also DC master trusts and pension providers.

I enjoy getting to know my clients and working with them to find practical and commercial solutions to legal problems.  My areas of interest include translating scheme documents into specifications that can be used for risk transfer and administration system exercises, communicating complex ideas in a simple way, and helping schemes make their governance efforts meaningful.

I am actively involved in various industry groups and contribute regularly to Sackers’ consultation responses on areas of developing law and regulation.
