Pension
Our team of specialist pension’s lawyers has experience of all forms of Kenyan based pension and life assurance arrangements, advising employers, trustees, intermediaries and individuals.
We have an in-depth understanding of a broad range of scheme types; including trust based defined benefit, defined contribution and hybrid schemes. Our lawyers also provide advice on contractual arrangements, and obligations under the ‘auto-enrolment’ regime for workplace pensions.
Examples of recent areas of focus include scheme funding issues (such as negotiating security and Pension Protection Fund levy issues); corporate restructuring exercises and company sales; scheme mergers; rule consolidation projects; scheme amendments (including closure exercises) and pensions related disputes.
We also have detailed knowledge of the special rules on pensions, which apply in the public sector, in particular in relation to transfers of staff to the private sector.
