Working cross-practice and often drawing on their substantial network to advise clients on cross-jurisdictional issues, DLA Piper‘s pensions team advises employers, insurers, and trustees in DB and DC schemes for some of the largest multinational corporations. The team, operating as a whole, is split between a core pensions team and a de-risking team, having one of the most renowned de-risking expertises in the market, capable of advising on some of the largest bulk annuity deals. Matthew Swynnerton, head of the core pension-focused offering, is experienced in advising some of the biggest multinational pension schemes, and fellow co-head Amrit Mclean, the de-risking side and insurance sector’s head, advises some of the largest bulk annuity insurers.
