Claire is a technical expert who supports the development of the pensions team’s technical expertise and monitors developments in pensions law, including pro-actively responding to consultations, participating in relevant industry bodies and developing relevant knowhow and precedents to reflect legal changes.

I have worked in pensions for over 25 years, providing legal advice to trustees, IGCs, employers and providers. My aim is always to provide practical and commercial advice, particularly in relation to complex and technical legal areas. I also enjoy working in a team alongside other advisers to get the best results for clients.

I have a special interest in the development and management of DC arrangements but I have also spent many years acting for DB schemes and dealing with their issues too.

The pensions industry needs to work closely together especially during times of significant change. I am keen to volunteer to help wherever I can and have a history of involvement with various initiatives that impact on new legislation and regulation. I am currently Chair of PASA’s working group that is focused on CDC and a founding member of the DC Governance Group which established the PLSA’s template chair’s statement for DC schemes.

I regularly speak at conferences organised by bodies such as the PMI and SPP and write articles and blogs for pensions publications.

My role as the Managing Partner of Sackers also gives me insight into some of the challenges and decisions involved in running a business – in this case, my experience comes from running a law firm based in London, but some of the principles will be common to many other walks of life. I find this really helpful to bear in mind when advising clients as it means I can consider their position from a business perspective and not just as a lawyer.
