Jenny Copeman

Jenny has been advising trustees and corporates on defined benefit pension matters since 2012. She has experience advising on valuation negotiations, covenant monitoring, large and small corporate transactions, and insolvency. Her sector experience includes telecoms, construction, financial services, publishing, shipping and manufacturing.

Her recent experience includes:

• Considering the implications of a number of complex moving parts during global cross-border insolvency litigation, resulting in the trustees of a £3bn pension scheme achieving an unprecedented settlement;
• Developing bespoke covenant monitoring frameworks which enable trustees to proportionately monitor scheme risk;
• Advising corporates and trustees on the covenant and affordability implications of a number of corporate transactions, achieving consensus on adequate mitigation where appropriate; and
• Assisting a number of private equity clients in considering the impact of potential acquisitions and disposals on related pension schemes

Her relaxed and approachable style is particularly valued by her clients.
