Arc Pensions Law—Victoria Thompson-Hill, Jonathan Mason & Georgi Ivanov

National specialist pensions law firm strengthens team with three new appointments

National specialist pensions law firm Arc Pensions Law has announced three new appointments as the firm continues to grow its specialist pensions offering.

Victoria Thompson-Hill (pictured) joins from Baker McKenzie as a Professional Support Lawyer, bringing 20 years of pensions law experience and particular expertise in legal knowledge management.

Victoria’s expertise covers all aspects of pensions law, with particular experience in GMP equalisation, funding, scheme mergers, wind-ups and liability management. Her appointment further strengthens Arc’s knowledge capabilities as the firm continues to expand in this rapid phase of growth.

Arc also welcomes Jonathan Mason as an Associate, who joins as a newly qualified solicitor having trained at Squire Patton Boggs, and Georgi Ivanov as a Paralegal, further strengthening the team at all levels.

The appointments follow a period of significant growth at Arc, including the recent arrival of Association of Pension Lawyers Chair Matthew Swynnerton and the appointment of Kris Weber to the partnership.

Victoria Thompson-Hill commented: "I am delighted to be joining Arc at an exciting time in the firm’s growth. I look forward to bringing my pensions and knowledge management experience to the team and supporting Arc as it continues to develop its specialist offering."

Managing partner Anna Copestake added: "We are thrilled to welcome Victoria, Jonathan and Georgi. Victoria’s combination of extensive pensions experience and knowledge management expertise will be hugely valuable as we continue to grow. These appointments reflect our continued investment in the firm at every level and our focus on building for the future."

Arc Pensions Law was founded in June 2015 and is the first specialist pensions law firm to be launched in over 30 years. The award-winning firm advises a large number of pensions clients, including multi-billion-pound pension funds, and other law firms.
