Employment and pensions

Specialising in employment and pensions – we help organisations and businesses manage change, head off issues and tackle problems with pragmatic advice and progressive thinking. Our employment law experts can help businesses become an employer of the future and develop effective people strategies and solutions to help your business grow.

Our team has the breadth and depth of employment, pensions and immigration law. Our clients are varied across corporate businesses and charities and third sector, but they all benefit from our diverse public and private sector experience, specialist technical expertise and sector knowledge.

Our pension clients include trustees and employees of pension schemes large and small. And our employment team count PLCs, charities, private businesses, registered providers and organisations across the not for profit landscape. Fluent in sectors and industries, we are expert in helping our clients to navigate from one to the other.

Dealing with potential deficits, identifying risks and finding ways to reduce them remain a priority for the pensions industry and our focus for our clients. Employers in all sectors face continuing pressure from litigation since the scrapping of fees. And many clients are concerned about the changes in employer’s obligations, changes in the nature of work and growing issues in recruitment and retention. Our role is to guide them through challenging times, head off and solve problems, and deliver peace of mind.

Why choose our employment lawyers?

Our major focus is on working with employers, but we do occasionally act for senior executives. Whoever our clients are, we always deliver sound strategic advice on implementing business changes, help understanding their impact and strategies to reduce and avoid risk. Pragmatic and down-to-earth, you can rely on us to give a clear picture of all the available options and a firm recommendation of what to do for the best.

Many of our client relationships are long established and enduring. But we are always ready to work with new organisations and take on new challenges. Adaptable and accessible, we work with each unique client to establish their priorities, assess their situation and offer tailored advice.

Trusted to work on the most complex corporate and organisational restructurings, we are proud of our ability to make a tangible difference. Well respected across the pensions industry and the employment arena, other firms often refer to our specialist advice.
