Our Northern Irish pensions lawyers are dual-qualified in England and Wales, as well as Northern Ireland. With specialist knowledge and experience in the area, our team advises over 35 Northern Irish pension schemes.
As well as our Northern Irish clients, we work closely with a wide range of consultants, actuaries, scheme administrators and independent trustees based in Northern Ireland. We also work with numerous law firms in Northern Ireland without specialist pensions advisers. We provide the unique expertise on Northern Irish pensions that their clients need.
Our team provides its advice through our Northern Ireland entity, Burges Salmon (Northern Ireland) Limited when required. Authorised and regulated by the Law Society of Northern Ireland and a member of the Northern Ireland Chamber of Commerce, this is often beneficial to our clients.

- Advising employers of the impact pension schemes have on their business and handling issues such as scheme funding and reconstructing.
