South East law firm Thomson Snell & Passmore has appointed pensions lawyer Mathew Boyle, to work as a consultant, predominantly alongside its corporate and commercial teams, providing expert advice to clients on a range of UK defined benefit pension matters.
He
will work as a consultant, providing the corporate and commercial, employment
and private client practices at Thomson Snell & Passmore with specialist
advice on a variety of pension matters.
This
will include advice to clients on managing their defined benefit pension plans,
M&A work such as pension diligence around defined benefit plans but also
trust-based occupational defined contribution plans, pensions aspects of
compromise agreements, tribunal claims and employment contracts, TUPE transfers
and giving advice to private clients on SIPPS and SSASs, as well as the pension
aspect of divorce.
Joanne
Gallagher, partner and head of corporate and commercial at Thomson Snell &
Passmore, commented: ‘By tapping into Mathew’s considerable experience, we will
be able to further broaden and strengthen the already excellent service we
deliver to clients. Although we anticipate the majority of Mathew’s expertise
will focus on corporate and commercial matters, in particular pensions support
for our M&A transactional work, his appointment is a positive one for the
entire firm as he will also be able to support clients from across a broad
range of practice areas, including our private clients.’
