What we say about the firm's legal practice in London
Human resources
Within Overview,
The world of pensions law continues to challenge corporates and fund trustees alike. Recent trends include dealing with deficits in pension schemes that have had the potential to run into billions of pounds, and liability management, particularly the management of accrual liabilities. In terms of new legislation, the change of inflation measure from RPI to CPI created automatic changes in the valuation of schemes. Sacker & Partners LLP remains the leading specialist firm and, together with global full-service giants CMS Cameron McKenna LLP, Hogan Lovells International LLP and Linklaters LLP, provides a top-tier service in both contentious and non-contentious pensions matters.
Within Pensions, Sacker & Partners LLP is a first tier firm,
Sacker & Partners LLP stands out for its ‘willingness to be proactive’. It is advising Northern Rock on its resale, and Nestlé UK on changes to its pensions arrangements. It has also recently advised on litigation involving the Prudential Pension Scheme; and assisted the Port of London Authority in the Pilots litigation. Senior partner Ian Pittaway is ‘particularly good for strategic advice’; and head of the dispute resolution practice Katherine Dandy’s ‘strengths include thoroughness, competence and strong empathy with the client’. Fiona Franklin is an ‘excellent communicator of complex issues’; Robin Simmons is ‘particularly good when a tenacious approach is required’; and Paul Phillips’s ‘advice and work ethic on major contracts is second to none’. David Saunders ‘gives legally sound advice combined with common sense’. Also recommended are Chris Close, Edward Hayes, Peter Murphy, Helen Baker, and Mark Greenlees. Jonathan Seres has retired.
