Burness Paull has been reappointed to the National Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) Legal Services Framework, which helps LGPS funds, investment pools, their employers and wider public sector pension schemes swiftly and easily access a wide range of reliable, good value expert legal specialists and services.
The framework is divided into seven lots and, following a competitive tender process, Burness Paull was appointed on a four-year term to lots four and six, covering investment (UK-wide) and benefit administration, employer bodies and governance (Scotland).
Margaret Meehan, partner and head of pensions at Burness Paull, said: “We are delighted to have been reappointed to the LGPS Legal Services Framework. We see this as testament to the strength and expertise of our top-ranked pensions and funds teams, and look forward to supporting LGPS funds, employers and investment pools with their legal requirements in what is an increasingly complex landscape.”
Rachel Howe, head of governance, risk and assurance at West Midlands Pension Fund said:
“We are really pleased to launch the latest Legal Services Framework under the National LGPS Frameworks, replacing the previous Legal Framework which provided key support to LGPS funds, employers and investment pools over the last four years.
“The partnerships created with all parties, including colleagues across the LGPS and the National LGPS Frameworks, suppliers and framework users have been integral to the successful navigation of the ever-increasingly complex legal environment in which we operate and has supported our ability to maintain high standard service delivery to our members and employers.”
