We have experience of working with a range of professional advisers, trustees and corporates on contentious trust and pension related disputes.
In view of the importance and complexity of pension related litigation, we work with clients to try and avoid the time and expense of litigation. We understand that economic turmoil has a huge impact on pension funds and can lead to pressure on corporates and members of the schemes. Pensions disputes are typically handled by a partner with specialist knowledge together with experienced junior lawyers and Counsel.
We help clients using our particular expertise in relation to:
- Assisting with matters covering analysis of scope of powers and breaches of fiduciary duty by Trustees.
- Advising on pension scheme liabilities in relation to insolvent companies and PPF.
- Advising on professional negligence claims against former advisers and Trustees.
- Applications for rectification for mistake.
- Wrongful trading concerns arising from pension schemes.
- Contentious applications where independent advice is required for a Representative Beneficiary
- Part 8 Claims in relation to Trustee Powers
- Assistance to directors and companies in relation to investigations led by a regulator
We have the expertise to assist clients with all kinds of pensions disputes, advising on many difficult cases where court proceedings become necessary.
Liability Driven Investments (LDIs) and Leveraged LDIs
We are working with leading experts and barristers to prepare litigation strategies following the liquidity crisis of September 2022 in respect of decisions made in the investment in Liability Driven Investments (LDIs). Whilst Trustees have spent the past months actively considering if deficits and losses can be recovered, where there is no other option, it is highly probable that many will be looking at the litigation option for recovering some of the losses.
Our lawyers’ history of dealing with complex banking mis-selling claims, fraudulent misrepresentation claims, professional negligence and pensions related litigation, means that we are able to assist Trustees, Investment Consultants, Fund Managers and other intermediaries in the sector consider their options and the financial risks of pursuing a claim.
