Pinsent Masons has bolstered its pensions practice with the hire of Taylor Wessing’s UK pensions head Carolyn Saunders.

Saunders is set to join the national law firm’s London office as a senior partner in the pensions team later this year. She will work closely with Pinsents national head of pensions Alastair Meeks, and will advise employers and trustees on both contentious and non-contentious matters.
