Pensions law firm promotes partner

National specialist pensions law firm Arc Pensions Law has recently announced the promotion of Robert Walker to partner. Robert joined Arc in 2017 as a senior associate and is based at the firm’s Leeds office.

Robert advises employers and trustees on all aspects of pensions law, including in relation to compliance and governance, liability management and corporate activity. He also has significant experience providing professional independent trustee services.

Robert has particular expertise in advising on the pensions aspects of bulk purchase annuity contracts, including the partial buy-in of pensioner liabilities and transactions on an ‘all risks’ basis.

Commenting on his appointment to the partnership, Robert said: 'I am excited to join the partnership at Arc: the firm's commitment to the pensions industry and the development of talent is second to none and I am grateful for the excellent support of colleagues and clients over the last several years. I am delighted to have the opportunity to help shape the business over the years to come.'

Leeds partner Kate Payne said: 'I have worked with Robert since before the Arc’s Leeds office was established; he is an excellent colleague and we are all looking forward to seeing him further strengthen his practice in his new role as partner.'

Managing partner, Rosalind Connor, commented: 'Robert is a welcome addition to our partnership and his promotion from senior associate to partner will further consolidate our nationwide pensions offering.'
