Matthew Boyle
Mathew has been qualified as a pension lawyer since 2006 and has extensive experience advising pension trustees, companies and professional service companies on a wide range of pension matters.
Having completed a secondment in-house at the Pensions Regulator early in his career he has particular experience in pension regulatory matters including advising on the Regulator’s “moral hazard” powers in the context of corporate transactions and automatic enrolment compliance.
During his career, mainly spent with one of the UK’s leading pension law teams, Mathew has had a particular focus on providing pension support to US law firms and companies on corporate transactions with a UK dimension such as mergers and acquisitions; solvent restructurings and insolvencies. This work has included regularly working on multi-national very high value corporate acquisitions.
He also advises companies on managing their pension liabilities; their engagement strategy with pension trustees; pension scheme buy-outs; closures to future accrual; pension scheme mergers; bulk transfers and disputes with pension scheme members.
Clients value Mathew’s commercial and solution-focused approach in a highly complex and technical area of the law.
