Specialist boutique firm ARC Pensions Law today announces that it will become the first major national pensions boutique with the impending arrival of pensions partners Kate Payne and Vikki Massarano, who will head a new five lawyer office for ARC to be based in Leeds.

Kate and Vikki will join from DLA Piper, where they are currently partners in the pensions team based in Leeds.

With over 25 years’ experience, Kate provides strategic advice to trustees and employers in relation to pension schemes on a wide range of issues. Vikki, also a highly experienced partner, advises on all aspects of pensions law and has specialist expertise in the pensions aspects of sales and acquisitions, restructurings, corporate financings and pension scheme mergers, in addition to advising many trustee clients.

Kate and Vikki will be joined at ARC by legal director Max Ballad and senior associates Nigel Jones and Robert Walker, also from DLA’s pensions team.

Anna Rogers, senior partner at ARC Pensions Law, said today: “I’m delighted to announce that ARC is establishing a Leeds office and will become the first major national pensions boutique in the UK. We’re extremely fortunate to be joined at ARC by Kate Payne and Vikki Massarano, two very experienced and highly regarded pensions partners, together with most of their team.”
