Wendy Ovenden

Wendy is a senior associate who specialises in pensions law. She is adept at simplifying the complex world of pensions so that her clients feel comfortable taking decisions that affect their scheme. Wendy has advised on a wide range of DB and DC issues, always taking care to achieve the right outcome for each client.

Wendy has a particular love of drafting pension scheme deeds, using them to tell a story so you can see exactly what the document does and why. A recent example involved Wendy summarising several knotty years of scheme history, explaining the effect under the scheme rules, and confirming and changing the current employers and trustees. Our client was pleased to find they could be extricated from the scheme, once the web had been unravelled.

When Wendy isn't working, she can usually be found getting muddy with her children, or trying her hand at anything crafty and creative.
