This work covers advising employers and individuals on the design, implementation and governance of employee benefit schemes, including pensions, share plans, private medical and other non-wage benefits, and the regulatory steps needed to operate them in the workplace. A solicitor practising in this area drafts and reviews scheme documentation, advises on auto-enrolment and qualifying up to date with The Pensions Regulator requirements, prepares communications to staff, supports trustees and employers, and handles registrations, amendments and compliance reporting. It also involves advising on risk, tax considerations and regulatory investigations affecting benefit schemes.
