Pinchin Environmental Ltd.

Pensions

The firm's Pension Group has the senior counsel experience and capability to deal with all aspects of the establishment, operation and dissolution of pension plans, including plan mergers, asset transfers, management and withdrawal of surplus, and partial wind up issues, as well as employer-sponsored retirement or savings arrangements (savings plans, Group RRSPs, defined contribution plans, defined benefit plans and executive supplementary arrangements). Recent regulatory guidelines governing capital accumulation plans have added a layer of complexity to these arrangements. We also advise and help develop compliance and good governance procedures in accordance with best practices to minimize liability of employers, administrators and custodians.

The members of the Pension Group work closely with the Insolvency and Corporate Restructuring Group with respect to the restructuring of pensions and other retirement or savings arrangements, and with respect to employee medical and insurance benefits.

  • DC/DB Plan Establishment and Operation
  • DB/DC Plan Mergers
  • Surplus Management and Withdrawal
  • Non-registered Retirement and Savings Plans
  • Supplementary and Executive Plans
