Baker McKenzie’s Pensions Breakfast Briefing Webinar

Wednesday 1 July, 2020 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am

Free

Baker McKenzie's Pensions Team is pleased to invite you to our next breakfast briefing webinar on developments in pensions law.

As in many other areas of life, COVID-19 has served to accelerate and emphasize pension scheme issues and trends for scheme sponsors and trustees. In this session, we focus on two such areas:

  • Transfers: with pension scheme transfers already a clear focus area for trustees and regulators before the pandemic, COVID-19 has increased the risks for members and trustees in this area and resulted in additional guidance. We will consider recent developments and what action trustees should be taking to address legal risks associated with both DB to DC and DC to DC transfers.
  • Privilege: when faced with court proceedings or action from regulators and members (such as TPR’s powers or data subject access requests) the ability of pension trustees to assert privilege can be of crucial importance. It can protect them from disclosure of legal advice or other sensitive materials which could compromise their position. We will consider the types of privilege, when it can be most relevant in a pensions context and what steps can be taken to protect it.
