Qatar announces new retirement pension plan and issues Social Insurance Law
26 January 2023
We advise on all aspects of pensions and superannuation law through a joined up approach
Our pensions team operates out of our London, Leeds and Manchester offices and advises on all aspects of UK pensions law. Our clients include trustees of occupational pension schemes, employers, independent trustees, public authorities, private and third sector contractors, and insurers and life assurance companies.
Our advice covers day-to-day compliance, including the obligations under the pensions automatic enrolment legislation, and strategic decision making, such as projects to manage risk and change pension benefits. We also advise on the pensions aspects of corporate transactions and outsourcings from the public sector and between contractors. Working with our corporate insurance experts we also help with the de-risking of defined benefit pension schemes and with pension trustee liability insurance.
Supported by our specialist litigators, we advise on all aspects of pensions litigation, including complaints to the Pensions Ombudsman, court applications, claims under trustee liability insurance, and professional negligence claims.
Where appropriate, we draw on the experience of the rest of the firm, including our employment, corporate insurance, corporate, finance, property, infrastructure, dispute resolution and tax teams to give our clients the full support they require.
We are able to provide support on pensions and benefits across the globe.
In the Middle East, our offices advise companies and authorities on pension and benefit matters. We have advised governments on setting up workplace saving arrangements.
In Australia, our offices regularly advise on matters relating to superannuation. We undertake both regulatory advisory and litigious work for superannuation funds, trustees and administrators. Our knowledge of the industry, coupled with our deep understanding of the complex and evolving legal landscape enables us to provide our clients with pragmatic, commercial, and cost-effective advices.
