Climate Change: Managing the risks and regulation facing Australian Superannuation Funds
12 November 2021
We advise on all aspects of pensions 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 litigious and corporate advisory work for super funds, providing advice on a variety of issues including taxation, compliance, regulation, fund remediation, industry complaints and life insurance disputes.
