I have over 15 years’ experience of advising both trustees and employers on all aspects of DB pensions, with a particular focus on major projects including buy-ins, buy-outs and other de-risking transactions.

I regularly advise on the pensions-related aspects of corporate transactions, insolvency and restructuring work. I take a special interest in section 75 liabilities, TPR’s moral hazard powers and legislation relating to the Pension Protection Fund.

My expertise on pension scheme financing and security structures includes guarantees, escrow accounts, surety bonds, letters of credit, charges over cash and other assets, reservoir trusts and asset-backed contribution structures.
