Defined Contribution Pensions

Legal advice that thinks about the future

Defined contribution (DC) pensions are now, for millions of savers across the UK, the main form of retirement savings. The success of automatic enrolment and the rollout of pension flexibilities has seen the development of large, multi-employer master trusts and the growth of contract-based group personal pensions (GPPs).

As the regulatory regime and pension savings landscape evolves, with a focus on default arrangements, value for money and pushes to scale-up fund sizes, you need to know your legal team is up to the challenge and ahead of developments. This is where our specialist team of defined contribution pensions lawyers can help.
