Pensions Trustee
Our dedicated team of professional trustees can help shape your pensions strategy, establish productive working relationships and make your scheme work more effectively.
Reassure pension scheme members and stakeholders their scheme is in safe hands: a professional independent trustee will help you navigate the ever-changing financial and regulatory environment, manage risk and distil complexity into decisive action.
Impartiality, credibility and focus: the right trustee makes managing assets, organisations and people much easier. An independent trustee will take as much responsibility as required, from knowledge sharing and oversight to chair roles and sole corporate trusteeship.
He or she will demonstrate commercial acumen when dealing with sponsors, fill in any knowledge gaps, and share insights and best practice regarding working with advisers including legal, investment, actuarial and administration providers.

Our Defined Contribution Credentials
The number of individuals with Defined Contribution (“DC”) benefits has grown sharply with auto-enrolment; strengthened governance requirements are now driving the transfer of many single employer DC arrangements to Master Trusts.
LawDeb is experienced across DC: from the smallest to the largest DC arrangements, Master Trust boards, Independent Governance Committees and DC Governance Committees.
