The pensions sector is increasingly litigious and complex. Plan sponsors and trustees have to navigate through a complex web of legislation and regulation. The introduction of the Pensions Act 2004, the enhanced powers of the new Pensions Regulator and the creation of the Pension Protection fund have all created new challenges for the industry.
Taylor Hampton is able to offer practical advice on a wide range of pension related issues.
We advise on all aspects of pensions disputes, including negligence claims, breach of trust proceedings, all forms of High Court related actions for both claimants and defendants, as well as internal dispute resolution.
Taylor Hampton can provide user friendly advise on a wide range of regulatory issues that are of concern both to plan sponsors and pension funds. These include the new requirements of scheme specific funding, scheme deficits and the Pension Protection fund.
We can also give advice on trustees’ duties and responsibilities, advising the trustee board, explaining the scheme rules and rectifying trust deeds.
