Legal & General Investment Management has announced Teresa Poy as its chief compliance officer.

The need to meet both auto-enrolment and transfer of undertakings requirements (TUPE) could see employees enrolled in pensions multiple times, an employment lawyer has warned.

Broadstone Corporate Benefits has supported the Rail, Maritime and Transport union's call to allow deferred members of pension schemes to stand as trustees.

Auto-enrolment legislation may lead to an increase in performance-related litigation, as employers are not specifically protected from responsibility for investment results.

Singapore's state-sponsored defined contribution scheme is an example of how a 'property from pensions' model could work in the UK, according to Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer partner David Pollard.

An effort to provide a consistent message has led the Pensions Regulator to become "defensive" in its advice, a partner at Taylor Wessing has said.

The government is reconsidering its advice on GMP equalisation in an attempt to make the process "as painless as possible", Steve Webb has announced.

Leading consultants have expressed concerns at employers' lack of awareness of the cost of auto-enrolment.

Steve Webb has urged the industry to listen more to consumers and adopt a more flexible attitude to saving.
