Tim Cox best all-rounder once again

Tim Cox of Linklaters has been voted best all-round pensions lawyer for the fourth year running.

Cox, a former chairman of the Association of Pension Lawyers, topped an annual survey conducted by Pensions World magazine, along with David Pollard of Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and Robert West of Baker & McKenzie. The runners-up were Paul Stannard, of Travers Smith, and Slaughter and May’s Philip Bennett.

Stannard was also voted the top negotiator, sharing the honours with Mark Atkinson, of CMS Cameron McKenna. The runner-up was Carolyn Saunders, of Pinsent Masons.

The survey covered 44 of the top pensions law firms and appears in this month’s issue of Pensions World.

James Thomas, the financial journalist who carried out the research, says it has been a hectic year for pensions lawyers: “Lawyers have been busy assisting clients with the challenges auto-enrolment presents.”
