Meet our LawDeb speakers
Trustee Directors Daniel Barlow and Sally Minchella spoke with Linklaters' Philip Goss and Alasdair Smith about the use of surplus.
Many schemes are now in surplus in the UK and legislation to make it easier to release surplus from ongoing schemes is expected in 2027.

LawDeb Trustee Directors Daniel Barlow and Sally Minchella were pleased to join Philip Goss and Alasdair Smith, Pensions Partners at Linklaters, to talk about the importance of trustees and corporates understanding what the parameters are on use of surplus.
In this two-part podcast series, the Law Debenture and Linklaters teams explore issues around trustee duties on release of surplus and whether trustees have a positive duty to negotiate for better benefits for their members, before sharing our experience on how these discussions have played out in practice.
