  • The Pensions Regulator.
  • The Pensions Ombudsman.
  • Public sector pension schemes, including the Local Government Pension Scheme, the various Firefighters’ Pension Schemes and the Police Pensions Scheme.
  • Regulatory (link) matters arising from private pension funds, particularly SIPPs and pension transfers.
  • The application of the Equality Act 2010 to pension matters.

Members of chambers have advised and appeared for HM Treasury, the Financial Ombudsman Service, the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, the Financial Conduct Authority, the Serious Fraud Office, and the Bank of England.
