Our team of specialists have extensive experience in providing expert actuarial support for pension dispute resolution.

We have worked with many of the leading law firms and QCs over the years, offering them our expert services and helping them get under the skin of a case and understand the many subtleties at play. We do so with our forensic ability and clear communication giving you the insight you need. 

How we can help

We have a dedicated team of actuarial experts with extensive experience of pension disputes. This means that we are responsive to the often tight timescales involved in dispute resolution, have experience of a wide range of cases and have access to a wealth of evidence enabling us to provide clear, evidence backed, opinions that hold up to scrutiny.

It is our clarity of thought, analysis and communication that stands out. As experts, we help you and your clients understand the merits of your case. The actuarial field is complex. We are able to cut this complexity to help you see this through the eyes of an actuary.

Our experience

Our team has many years’ experience across a wide range of cases and disputes. We have assisted a number of clients with quantum issues, such as rectification of administration errors, scheme benefit changes and Barber equalisation issues. These often include assessing quantum in loss of chance cases at several historical dates. In addition, we have experience in assisting lawyers with losses in relation to the PPF, actuarial issues in relation of breach of good faith claims, scheme closure and amendment of benefits, investment strategy decisions, assessing funding guarantees and benchmarking funding and investment strategies.

We have experience of cross examination, mediations, actuarial disciplinary tribunals and arbitration proceedings. The reports and documents we produce to support these proceedings are clear and concise, without unnecessary technical jargon and we will work collaboratively with your legal team to ensure these complement your case.

Expert witness services

We have many years' experience in providing expert witness advice and acting as expert witnesses in relation to disputes on behalf of trustees, companies, representative individuals and regulatory bodies.
