What the Team is Known For
Radcliffe Chambers has notable experience in a broad spectrum of pensions matters, both contentious and non-contentious. Its barristers have extensive experience acting in cases with elements of professional negligence and trusts law. As well as acting for the Pensions Regulator and the Pensions Ombudsman, members of Radcliffe Chambers offer trustees and employers the benefit of their substantial expertise in the pensions area. One client states the set has "real go-to counsel for the tough technical pensions and trusts questions". The barristers at the set have been acting for Newell Trustees in a case that was a Part 64 application by the sole trustee of the Scheme, seeking directions as to the effectiveness of various changes made to the Parker Pension Plan in 1992. Phillips v National Grid Gas plc is another key case concerning a claim against National Grid Gas by a former employee and defined benefit scheme member for an injunction in relation to the member’s alleged entitlement to an incapacity pension.
John Clark is the head of clerking.
