We help clients navigate the complexities of auto-enrolment at one end of the spectrum and tax allowances for high earners at the other. We also advise on what to do with peripheral DC arrangements which are increasingly costly to run. As consolidating DC arrangements becomes more popular, we are on hand to give timely, proportionate and clear advice to employers and trustees based on our experience of advising hundreds of occupational pension schemes over many years. In particular, we advise on the available options and legal implications such as moving to another DC occupational scheme within the group, a group personal pensions scheme or master trust, or winding up the scheme altogether. We also advise on employment issues and have strong links with an employment firm through our membership of Ius Laboris, the global alliance of leading HR law practitioners. Employers and trustees must ensure that pension arrangements are not operated in a way that directly or indirectly discriminates against a member or employee because of a protected characteristic, such as someone’s sex or age. We have extensive experience of advising on all discrimination issues.
