Richard Pinder

I help companies and trustees manage pension risk.

I lead LCP’s M&A practice and have significant experience advising buyers, sellers and trustees on the pensions aspects of corporate transactions and restructurings, including carrying out due diligence and providing negotiation support. I work closely alongside our employer covenant specialists to help our clients assess the impact of a deal on the sponsor and negotiate an optimal solution.

I also have over 25 years’ experience advising my clients on a wide range of pensions issues including scheme funding, longer term journey planning, managing pension risks and reporting pension costs in company accounts. I believe the best outcomes are reached through taking a collaborative approach and, as both an experienced scheme actuary and corporate adviser, I help my clients work constructively with other parties to achieve their goals.

My clients tell me I am a clear communicator, helping them cut through the complexity of pensions to focus on what is important.
