Having previously worked in the pensions legal team of one of the UK’s largest professional services firms, I have a unique understanding of the wider pensions issues that are relevant when solving clients’ problems and have often worked closely with actuarial, covenant, investment, transformation and industrial relations specialists.
I have advised some of the UK’s largest employers on pensions reform, often where clarity is needed from the High Court or Court of Appeal on the pension scheme’s rules.
As well as advising trustee and corporate clients on contentious and non-contentious matters, I have worked on a number of high profile liquidations. I have also been seconded to the pensions legal team of a leading UK insurer.
Example cases:
- British Broadcasting Corporation v BBC Pension Trust Limited and another – acting for the BBC in proceedings concerning the amendment power
- Ove Arup & Partners v Trustees of the Arup UK Pension Scheme – acting for Arup in proceedings concerning the pension increase rules
- Thales UK Ltd v Thales Pension Trustees Ltd & Ors – active for Thales in proceedings concerning the revaluation and pension increase rules
What others say…
I have worked closely with Danny over the last year or so on the [project]. I have found Danny to be a great colleague to work with, at all times working to the highest standards of professionalism and providing well thought through, practical and accessible advice. Danny is also extremely reliable and very proactive ; anticipating deadlines and the need for instructions in a calm and well planned manner- which I have found especially helpful on [the project]. I have every confidence in the advice and guidance Danny provides and look forward to working with him to the conclusion of this project
Pension legal issues can be complex. Danny is able to explain the key issues clearly and advise us as the client. Written advice is clear and very well written. Danny is a pleasure to work with, always calm and considered and good fun.
