执业经验

Scheme funding and contingent assets
Richard advises trustees and sponsors on funding negotiations and associated dealings with the Pensions Regulator. He acted for the trustees of a FTSE100 scheme in putting in place one of the UK's first asset-backed contribution arrangements with a value of £200m. He has advised on the full range of contingent assets, from parent company guarantees to a £500m escrow arrangement.

Buy-ins, buy-outs and liability management
Richard has extensive experience of de-risking projects. He has advised trustees on some 30 buy-ins and buy-outs – for example a series of deals enabling a major scheme to secure liabilities for its entire membership (total value £1bn). He has acted on the winding-up of many DB schemes including the UK arrangement of a major international bank, advising on buy-out terms, trustee protection and refunds of surplus. Richard is a key member of the Firm's Pensions Risk Transfer Group, a cross-practice team which provides a joined-up service for trustees who wish to de-risk.
