How our pension solicitors can help
Your pension is one of the most important employee benefits going. It's also a very complicated and challenging area of law. Our team of pension solicitors can guide you and offer comprehensive legal advice on anything you need support with. Here are some of the ways Lawhive can help:
Reviewing pension arrangements | Our pension law solicitors can assess your current pension plans, giving you a better understanding of your rights and the terms of the contract. They can also identify any potential risks or mismanagement of the pension arrangement. They can then help guide you on negotiating better terms or even taking further court action to claim compensation. |
Guidance on pension division | Solicitors are essential during divorce proceedings. Within this, they can assess pension valuations and determine the best way for pensions to be divided. Above all else, they can assist with negotiation and making sure the process is 100% fair. |
Resolving pension disputes and claims | Pension scheme dispute solicitors can mediate in certain situations such as between an employer and employee or a pension company and the client. They can negotiate on your behalf to ensure a fair settlement or necessary adjustment of the pension scheme. |
Defending clients in pension disputes | Our solicitors can also support those accused of pension mismanagement or in disputes with fund managers. They can work with you to build a case including gathering evidence to prove you're not accountable. They can also represent you in court or in tribunal. |
Other types of pension solicitor services
Our team can support a wide range of pension issues. Beyond standard pension advice, our solicitors can give guidance on more complicated claims too. With years of experience, you can get tailored, legal advice on things like:
Pension sharing orders in divorce
Pension solicitors offer a service during divorce proceedings that can assist with pension sharing. The solicitor will conduct the pension sharing order, making sure the pension is divided fairly between the spouses who are divorcing or going through a dissolution of a civil partnership.
The solicitor will discuss with both parties regarding the pensions, providing any necessary negotiation. They can help produce a settlement with set terms that benefit both parties equally. They will also assess the pensions and their value to make sure it is fair. This can stop disputes over the sharing process and make the divorce a smoother process.
Pension inheritance and beneficiary rights
Pension inheritance is a complex process and can cause issues between family members. Every pension scheme is different and has different rules. A pension dispute solicitor will help to tighten those rules of the specific pension to make sure the family understand their rights to a loved one’s pension fund.
In some cases, the pension holder will have made clear who the beneficiary would be in the event of their passing. But if they did not do this, the solicitor can work with the family and verify whether the dependent is eligible to claim the beneficiary payments.
Mis-sold pensions and compensation claims
Our solicitors can assist anyone who isn't happy with their pension plan. Whether the client feels they have been mis-sold or misled regarding pension plans, the solicitor can advise them on their steps moving forward.
The solicitor will assess the pension plan and any paperwork. They can then support their client to seek compensation for the plan. They can also help guide them on how to seek legal action to hold the provider accountable for the mis-sold pension plans.
