'Keith is meticulous and thoughtful in his advice, particularly in preparing a case and works exceptionally well in tandem with his instructing solicitors.'
Radcliffe Chambers
Radcliffe Chambers is described as containing ‘top notch pensions counsel’, which includes experienced members such as Keith Rowley KC and juniors Elizabeth Ovey, Henry Day, and Wendy Mathers. The ‘strong’ pensions experience was demonstrated in cases such as Toyota Material Handling UK Limited v Mercer Limited, in which potential professional negligence questions were raised against former benefit consultants, and CMG Pension Trustees Ltd v CGI IT UK Ltd, in which trustees sought clarification on the scheme’s forfeiture provisions and its impact on unclaimed benefits.
