Gowling WLG is pleased to welcome Deron Waldock as a partner in the firm's national Pensions Group, based in Toronto. With more than 25 years of experience, Deron is known for his ability to translate intricate pension, benefits and executive compensation issues into clear, business-aligned strategies. Recognized by Chambers Global, Lexpert, and The Legal 500, he combines legal precision with an uncommon ability to see around corners—identifying practical, sustainable solutions tailored to each client's long-term objectives.

Deron's practice spans the full spectrum of pensions and benefits law, from plan design and compliance to high-stakes transactional matters. His work is grounded in a deep understanding of the interplay between law and actuarial science, a perspective that allows him to deliver integrated, forward-thinking advice on everything from surplus entitlements and governance to the treatment of plans in M&A, restructurings, and insolvencies.

"With workforce dynamics evolving and regulatory scrutiny on the rise, employers are facing increasingly complex challenges when it comes to managing pension and executive compensation plans," said Benjamin Na, Managing Partner of Gowling WLG's Toronto office.

"Deron brings a rare combination of legal depth, actuarial fluency, and creative problem-solving that will help our clients navigate these pressures with agility and confidence."
