Anna joins the firm from Taylor Wessing where she was a partner since 2021, having previously spent 11 years at Linklaters where she was Managing Associate and Counsel.

This appointment marks the fifth pensions partner to join Pinsent Masons since 2023 following the hires of Ian Mylrea in Manchester, Amie Bain in Glasgow, Andy Wright in Leeds and Charlotte Scholes in London.

“Anna brings our pension partner headcount up to twenty-one and strengthens our capabilities to handle complex mandates, which is particularly important now as we are going through a period of great change in UK pensions. Her appointment will bring great value to our clients looking to navigate through old and new requirements."

Anna said of her appointment: “There are many challenges facing the pensions industry and I am looking forward to helping clients overcome these with the team at Pinsent Masons."
