Ian Cormican has been a partner at Sackers since 2007, advising trustees and employers on a wide range of pensions issues. He was fortunate to be involved in some of the earliest major bulk annuity and longevity transactions and has maintained a strong focus on risk transfer transactions since then, working on a number of significant and novel structures in the past few years. As a result, he has a deep understanding of all aspects of these transactions from preparing benefit specifications and negotiating contracts to advising on residual risks. He has recently completed risk transfer transactions for, amongst others, telent, Signet and the Smiths Group.
