Specialised advice and experienced direction is the best possible first step in managing retirement benefits for a company's employees.
Our Pensions Group, established in the mid-1980s, provides such assistance to Irish and international clients.
One of the few Irish firms to offer such a service, our team of three Partners and three other solicitors combines an expert understanding of pensions law with a practical and commercial approach to resolving issues. As such, we are recognised as one of the top pensions practices in the country.
We advise on the legal issues relating to the establishment and operation of occupational pension schemes and personal retirement savings accounts and the completion of relevant documentation.
We also advise on all aspects of interaction with regulatory bodies, including obtaining Revenue approval and registering with the Pensions Board.
We provide ongoing legal advice to the trustees on the application of the law regarding their roles as laid down in the trust documentation and legislation. We advise trustees on investment management of the assets of the scheme and on their choice of investment manager/custodian. We also advise trustees on their choice of other service providers as well as on the agreements governing such relationships.
Our team advises employers and trustees in relation to consolidating, merging/de-merging and reconstructing existing occupational pension schemes and on winding-up schemes and in relation to moving from defined benefit to defined contribution pension provision.
