Chris Comerford and David Francis are key names within the practice, regularly acting for employers, trustees and those operating in the pensions and investment elements of corporate transactions and benefit scheme restructurings. Aoife Malone focuses on the restructuring and winding-up of defined benefit pension schemes, and the pension aspects of M&A.
