THE FIRM: Arc Pensions Law is a specialist national law firm focusing entirely on workplace pension schemes. Consisting of nine highly experienced partners and 12 associates, Arc advises on all things pensions related. The firm's client-base consists of over 200 trustees and employers, plus a range of other parties in the industry such as administrators, actuaries, consultants, master trusts and investment advisers – as well as many other law firms who rely on Arc for our unique experience and commercial approach. The team at Arc believes that the future of legal services is about strength through focus.

PRINCIPAL AREAS OF WORK: Arc Pensions Law guides trustees, employers and other law firms through the highly regulated world of pension schemes. Arc lawyers help trustees manage risk and balance the interests of various stakeholders to protect members. They also support employers in managing their relationship with the trustees, bringing ‘equality of arms’ to every negotiation and helping them to build a positive and productive dialogue. When working with other law firms, Arc works as a seamless part of the client’s existing team – its job is to clarify technicalities and explain difficult concepts in a way that unpacks them meaningfully without sacrificing accuracy or affecting exposure to risk.

The firm has offices in London and Leeds.
