Pension Disputes & Litigation

The best way of protecting your company against pension disputes and litigation is by ensuring that your pension schemes are drawn up properly in the first place. At the same time, issues such as retail price index linking, compared with consumer price indexing and ineffective investment planning, can cause problems and attract disputes.

Our employment litigation solicitors can help you with your workplace pensions. We deal with claims against employers, pensions professionals and trustees, and act on behalf of companies or individuals before the Pensions Regulator and Pensions Ombudsman.
