A pragmatic approach

We guide pension schemes from the buy-in stage to buy-out, final wind-up and trustee liability discharge, securing maximum protection for trustees.

A complete view of the market

We have a comprehensive view of the risk transfer market through our work for trustees, sponsors, insurers and reinsurers.

Market-leading experience

We have advised on over 210 bulk annuity deals worth over £22bn – from small scheme buy-outs to multi-billion pound bulk annuity and longevity swaps deals.

We advise on how to structure and present scheme benefits to attract strong insurer engagement and competitive pricing, ensuring good outcomes for all stakeholders.

We give strategic guidance on issues such as the allocation of risk and how to ensure robust governance, and we guide you on complex and innovative approaches such as solutions for illiquid assets, framework bulk annuity schemes structures, and residual risks cover.

We reduce execution risk by proactively addressing legal issues ahead of exclusivity. Our extensive experience of working with trustees, sponsors, insurers and reinsurers enables us to resolve issues swiftly and efficiently.
