Experience
June is a hugely experienced pension lawyer (accredited by the Law Society of Scotland as a specialist in pensions law since 1998), working with a wide range of employers in the private sector, public sector and not for profit sector as well as trustees and other advisers and stakeholders.
Her experience built up over more than 35 years, includes strategic advice to and strategy development with decision makers and supporting them on a wide range of pensions law aspects throughout the lifecycle of their pension schemes, including sales, acquisitions and TUPE transfers, outsourcing and insourcing of services, setting up schemes, buy ins and buy outs of benefits and transfer to Master Trust, contracts of employment (at recruitment, changes and termination), exit agreements, redundancy, documentation, communications to members, discretionary decisions and processes, governance, pension duties, auto-enrolment, death-in-service life assurance schemes.
June has the invaluable added dimension of being a trustee on pension schemes. This means she is at the "sharp end" – she actually appoints advisers, commissions advice and takes decisions so she knows exactly what is required to be able to take good decisions and drive excellent outcomes.
Her clients span most sectors, including investors, education, technology, insurance, food and drink, real estate, transport, services and facilities, public sector, services, professions and charities.
June has also chaired the Law Society of Scotland's Specialist Accreditations panel for many years; she is a member of the Association of Pension Lawyers and has been Chair of the Scottish Group of the Association of Pension Lawyers (and before that Secretary of that group).
