PwC hires pensions partner from Ashurst 

Marcus Fink joins PwC’s pensions legal team in July 2017 from Ashurst, where he was a partner and led the pensions practice. He has 18 years of experience advising clients on pension scheme reorganisations and mergers, deficit reduction strategies and restructurings, and has particular experience in pensions investment matters.

At PwC, Marcus will focus on advising organisations and pensions trustees on their investment funding strategies, helping them ensure investments meet stringent trust law and legislative requirements amid the uncertainties of Brexit.

Marcus said: ‘There is growing demand from organisations and pension fund trustees for advice on a variety of opportunities and challenges.’ The appointment of Marcus follows those of Fraser Sparks, formerly a partner in the pensions team at Stephenson Harwood, and David Farmer, formerly a partner in DLA Piper’s pensions team.
