Anna Taylor

Anna specialises in helping companies, investors, lenders and trustees to find solutions to the legal challenges they face in dealing with UK pension schemes.

Anna regularly advises both trustees and employers on the day-to-day running of schemes, funding arrangements, investments, changes to benefits and member options, scheme mergers, and de-risking solutions such as buy ins and buyouts.

Anna aims to work closely with her clients to provide them with pragmatic, clear advice that will help them achieve their goals and to successfully navigate this complex area of law.
