Mergers & Acquisitions

Pension deficits are widely seen as one of the most important and complex issues for corporate transactions today. New rules, intended to protect pension scheme members, now bring scheme trustees and an empowered Pensions Regulator into the deal process. It is now more vital than ever that parties to a deal take professional advice on pensions issues at an early stage in the process.

LCP's specialist Mergers and Acquisitions Practice provides expert practical advice on the pensions issues faced by organisations buying or selling businesses, or forming joint ventures. We have a proven track record in providing focused, commercially valuable pensions advice on transactions ranging from transfers of small numbers of employees, through to multi-billion pound international acquisitions.

We pride ourselves on offering a flexible and responsive service to all parties - buyers, vendors or providers of deal finance. We already act for a large and growing number of substantial venture capital and private equity firms, as well as trade buyers and sellers.
