Simon Evans is an Of Counsel specialising in Pensions and Pensions Disputes advising trustees, employers and master trusts on funding (including alternative endgame structures), benefit issues, distressed situations, tax and investment. Simon acts on a range of pensions litigation matters, including solving benefit issues, disputes about employer liability, investment loss cases and professional negligence. Simon has acted on many high profile regulatory investigations including ‘moral hazard’ financial support direction and contribution notice cases. Simon also advises extensively on cross-border pension issues.
As he advises on both litigation and non-contentious pensions matters, Simon often acts as a problem solver for clients who can combine his experience to identify cost-effective solutions which may not be apparent to more narrow specialists. He has recently been helping schemes on how they avoid new risks when applying AI to improve services.
Before joining CMS, Simon worked at another leading City law firm. He has also served on secondments at a major bank, an airline and a government organisation. Simon is a frequent speaker at conferences and seminars on both general pensions and pension litigation issues.
