Pension claims
We have specialist teams acting for different public sector groups regarding challenging changes made to public sector pensions in April 2015.
These changes appear to be discriminatory on grounds of age. In June 2019, the Supreme Court found that the claims that we are pursuing on behalf of several judges challenging the changes made to their pension provision were successful and that the changes made were discriminatory.
We are now bringing claims on behalf of other groups in the public sector, including Doctors, Teachers and Police Officers.
