Business critical restructuring: pension issues

Complex issues arise when restructuring a business that includes the sponsoring employer of a defined benefit (DB) pension scheme.

The lawyers at Hogan Lovells understand the commercial drivers behind business restructuring. With experience of acting for both corporates and trustees, we help corporates demonstrate to pension trustees (and, if necessary, the Pensions Regulator) how a proposed reorganization can meet both business needs and the trustees' legitimate concerns.
