I have two main principles which I stick to when helping people on pensions:
1. Talk in English rather than 'Actuarial'; and
2. Get things done on time
Everything else becomes much simpler on the back of that. The companies I work with value the responsiveness and plain-speaking way I do things, and I hope it also makes working together more enjoyable at the same time.
As a leading member of LCP’s M&A Practice I also have significant experience advising buyers, sellers and trustees on the pensions aspects of corporate transactions and restructurings, including carrying out due diligence and providing negotiation support.
A measured approach in providing advice, which aims to satisfy the Trustee as a prerequisite, is balanced with considering the sponsors practical circumstances.
