Pensions Disputes
Working closely with our market-leading Pensions team, our pensions disputes specialists help our clients to manage and resolve a wide range of contentious matters affecting the industry.
The cost and complexity of UK pension schemes has led to an increasing number of legal disputes in recent years. These disputes cover a wide variety of issues, ranging from historic problems in mature pension schemes, such as equalisation and scheme amendment powers, to those arising from investment complexities or risk reduction measures and associated employment duties.
We work closely with colleagues in our Pensions team to advise on and manage high-value and innovative court actions. And we use our wealth of pensions knowledge and experience, combined with a detailed understanding of court procedure and alternative dispute resolution across the UK, to achieve positive outcomes for our clients.
Our expertise includes:
- Rectification applications to remedy errors in scheme documents
- Helping schemes to manage member complaints and claims
- Responding to Pension Ombudsman complaints
- Applications for directions on the proper running of schemes
- Professional negligence claims
- Defending claims of professional negligence on behalf of actuaries and administrators
