Arc Pensions Law is ‘extremely knowledgeable’ of both the employer and trustee sides of pensions law, with experience acting as sole advisor to funds and corporate clients, as well as working in conjunction with other firms that do not have pension-related expertise. As a pensions boutique, the firm naturally possesses excellent technical ability, but is also noted by clients for its ’practicality’ and ‘flexibility’, with key team members being able to apply their perspective as former trustees on pensions funds. Vikki Massarano co-heads the Leeds-based team and is noted for being ’commercial’ and ‘practical’. She works alongside co-head Kate Payne, who is regarded as a ’leading expert in pensions law’.
