Pensions World magazine's annual lawyers survey announced

Linklaters partner, Tim Cox has been voted the best all round pensions lawyer for the third year running in the annual survey of pensions lawyers, conducted by Pensions World magazine.

Freshfields’ David Pollard was runner up, followed by Baker & McKenzie’s Robert West.

Travers Smith’s Paul Stannard was voted the top negotiator. Hogan Lovells’ Stephen Ito was runner up, with Tim Cox in third place.

Joint winners in the top litigator category were Angela Dimsdale-Gill (Hogan Lovells) and Katherine Dandy (Sackers). Also commended in this section were Mark Blyth (Linklaters), Christopher Nugee QC of Wilberforce Chambers and Giles Orton (Eversheds).

James Thomas, financial journalist, who carried out the research says: “The constantly shifting target of legislation is set against a background of broader economic and political developments which have accelerated further the process of reinvention that pensions lawyers have undergone over the last decade.”
