Sarah Jenkins

Practice Areas

Sarah has been practising pensions law since 2007 and has extensive experience on a wide range of pension scheme issues. She regularly drafts pension scheme documentation and provides advice to trustees and employers on complex scheme issues, such as equalisation and the interpretation of pension scheme provisions. She also has a number of years’ experience as a professional pension scheme trustee, and is able to apply the lessons she has learnt from this role to much of her advisory work.

Sarah is an approachable and conscientious lawyer who puts the needs of her clients at the heart of the advice she provides. Her logical and organised approach to pensions law enables her to guide pension schemes effectively through sometimes complex pensions projects.

Recent work undertaken by Sarah includes:

advising the trustees of a scheme in relation to the implications of a complex corporate restructuring proposal on the Scheme (including master trust and employer-related investment issues; employer covenant and employer debt implications; and the impact of the proposal on a PPF guarantee);

drafting a Type A PPF guarantee for a trustee client, which enables less prudent assumptions to be adopted during the scheme specific funding valuation negotiations;
