Prestigious Role Reflects Irwin Mitchell’s Investment In Leading Pension Team

Irwin Mitchell partner Penny Cogher has been elected to the main committee of the Association of Pension Lawyers (APL).

Penny has considerable experience in all pension matters, with a particular focus on advising companies, international firms and their pension trustees, on their UK pension arrangements.

Established in 1984, the APL is a not-for-profit membership association which consists of more than a thousand lawyers who practise pensions law in the UK.

Penny will start her two-year team at the APL on 11 November.

This is an exciting opportunity as the APL provides a valuable forum for exchanging ideas amongst lawyers, whilst working extremely hard with government to share this collective expertise and ensure it is reflected in legislation.” Penny Cogher, Pensions partner
