Seasoned pensions expert Ian Gordon (Glasgow) heads up Pinsent Masons LLP’s team, which is frequently instructed by well known employers, trustees and funds. This steady stream of mandates stems from the group’s wide-ranging expertise in defined benefit and defined contribution pension schemes, benefit transfers, security arrangements and investments as well as buy-ins and buy-outs and pensions litigation. The team, which sits within the firm’s UK-wide pensions practice, also includes Ruth Tobias, director Alison Shackleton and Cameron McCulloch, who made partner in spring 2022 and specialises in securing pension liabilities with trustees.
