Pinsent Masons LLP undertakes high volumes of work for a number of major pension funds, with capabilities across the full range of transactional mandates, including M&A and de-risking, as well as undertaking regulatory and advisory work. The team’s strong capabilities in servicing master trusts, insurers, and other pension businesses are bolstered by the hire of Andy Wright from Eversheds Sutherland (International) LLP in March 2023, who brings a focus on more traditional work on big DB schemes. This new addition complements the work of practice head Tom Barton, who, in addition to heading the national practice, is a leading expert in respect of DC master trusts, and is highly proficient in consolidation and governance work.
