ARC Pensions Law offers advice around compliance and trustee advisory work, liability management, bulk annuity purchase, safe settlement on winding up, and corporate advisory issues.

Pensions lawyer Anna Rogers, the current Chairman of the Association of Pension Lawyers, is Senior Partner at the firm.

Chris Mullen, who spent twenty years in the industry as a pensions partner before most recently serving as the senior partner of Pinsent Masons, has become Managing Partner.

The firm believes there is scope for more competition in the pensions law market, where clients can get direct access to senior legal counsel who are focused exclusively on the needs of their industry. At a time of increasing price pressure on providers of legal services, ARC Pensions Law aims to meet the needs of these clients, particularly employers and trustees, as well as law firms who do not have their own dedicated pensions capability and who require specialist support.

Anna Rogers said:

"ARC Pensions Law is a specialist practice focusing entirely on the needs of pensions clients. The pensions world is at a crossroads and it’s a great opportunity for a law firm operating on a different model from the traditional one. There’s space for all of us and I very much look forward to building something new.

"We are determined to make ARC Pensions Law a business which is genuinely driven by our values and which provides a supportive, flexible and exciting work environment for everyone who joins us. I'm convinced that this is the best way to deliver consistently high standards of client service."

Co-founder Chris Mullen added:

“We're very excited by the tremendously positive reception we have received so far from clients and industry colleagues.   
 
"Having worked for thirty years at a senior level in a major, traditional law firm, first as a national operator and over the last ten years, as an international operator, I have seen both the strengths and weaknesses of that model. For clients operating in the pensions world, I’m convinced that a bespoke, partner-led service from a specialist boutique hits the mark better. Also, thanks to our tightly-focused strategy, we believe we are more capable of delivering consistently high levels of service."
