Overview
Increased litigation risk, a complex regulatory environment and relatively undeveloped common law have heightened the already strong need for proper governance and administration of pension and benefits plans. In addition, increasing scrutiny on investment of pension assets has forced plan sponsors to carefully consider their investment policies and procedures. Our group has experience in all areas of pension and benefit plan administration, from establishing the arrangement and complying with regulatory requirements, through dealing with surplus and contribution holidays to plan mergers, terminations and wind-ups.
On the investment side, our group provides the full range of corporate /commercial advice including pension benefits standards compliance and tax efficiency structuring and analysis, all having regard to the clients’ upstream fiduciary and contractual responsibilities, governancebest practices and risk management. Amongst other things, we negotiate and structure domestically and internationally, private and public equity investments, carry on mergers and acquisitions, effect private and public financings and generally, establish and advise tax-exempt entities.
