Head of pensions joins business team
Irwin Mitchell has announced that it has appointed DWF’s UK head of pensions, Martin Jenkins, to its London office.
Martin is the ninth partner to join the firm’s business legal services (BLS) division since the start of the year and joins London partners Ayesha Hasan (real estate), Edward Judge (insolvency) and Jonathan Sachs (professional negligence).
A member of the Association of Pension Lawyers, Martin has extensive experience of all aspects of pensions law across both the public and private sectors. He will join and work alongside Irwin Mitchell’s existing pensions partner, Nigel Bolton, who is based in the firm’s Leeds office.
Martin says: “Irwin Mitchell has continued to grow its business team in the last few years and I am tremendously excited about its future growth strategy and its UK investment plans. It has a clear direction and a pioneering and entrepreneurial approach which I believe puts the firm in an ideal position to take advantage of what remains to be a challenging and fast-changing commercial environment.”
Niall Baker, chief executive of the BLS division, says: “Martin is hugely experienced and a superb addition to our business division. It is vital that as Irwin Mitchell builds its reputation in the commercial arena within London and across the UK, that we continue to bring only the very best people into the firm. Quite simply, we are looking for first-class practitioners who are not only leaders in their field, but who also have a track record for delivering the highest level of client care.”
