Set up in 2006, we are a team of senior corporate finance professionals drawn from leading investment banks. We have developed specific expertise in relation to defined benefit pension schemes and the associated regulatory environment. Our track record in providing the advice, judgement and analytical support to optimise outcomes for our clients is widely recognised in the sector and evidenced by our work for many of the largest private sector pension schemes in the UK. Our past international investment banking experience provides us with additional insights into situations when sponsors of client schemes are part of a foreign parent group. We provide a full range of corporate finance advisory services including: • Sponsor covenant evaluation and monitoring; • Affordability analysis; • Integrated risk analysis of scheme and covenant; • Insolvency analysis; • Negotiation and regulatory support, valuations and recommendations; • Defence planning and scenario analysis; • M&A and corporate events advice; • De-risking, buy outs and buy ins; • Counterparty evaluation; • Contingent asset schemes; • Strategic, corporate finance and project finance advice
