The updated Pensions section of our Brexit Legal Guide is now available.

This provides a useful overview of:

  • the impact on pension law and regulation in the UK following the UK’s exit from the EU on 31 January 2020;
  • the potential impact of any anticipated changes in the UK’s legal and trading relationship with the EU at the end of the transition period on the pension scheme sponsor’s business, the scheme investment, scheme funding and security arrangements; and
  • additional no-deal issues such as payments to members who live in an EU27 Member State, sending personal data to the EU and receiving personal data from the EU.

If you would like to discuss specific arrangements for support through the risks of the move to an uncertain future relationship, on how you might express the concerns of your business to governments, on dispute risks that may arise, or on any other questions or challenges you have, please do contact your regular Herbert Smith Freehills relationship contacts, or otherwise any of our experts listed here.

The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.
