Pensions
In many cases, labour and employment law issues cannot be assessed only from a labour and employment law perspective
As regards pensions – and in tandem with the growth of labour market pension schemes, the growth of corporate pension schemes and not least the increased focus on pension promises in general – the need for our advice has increased and we have seen a significant increase in the number of clients turning to us for advice or representation in court.
We advise on matters relating to pension funds, pension cover, interpretation of pension promises and pension schemes, including labour market pension schemes. We also advise on pension issues in the context of dismissals, expatriation and repatriation as well as in connection with changes – and especially on tax-related pension issues.
We recently
- advised on the interpretation of collective agreements regulating pension matters
- assessed issues relating to the interaction between pension provisions and the Danish Anti-Discrimination Act
- represented Local Government Denmark (KL) in a Supreme Court case concerning the restrictions under municipal collective agreements on payment of pension contributions to civil servants who have activated their civil servant pension
