    Brief

    Urgent legal advice required on compliance with the 2026 Pension Bill regarding mandatory pension fund investment pooling. The organization is currently in dispute with a prospective pool company regarding participation status (shareholder versus client-only). A critical deadline of 30 June 2026 is approaching, after which the organization will be in breach of law if not pooled. The engagement requires retaining an experienced lawyer who has been managing this matter for several months and is transitioning from Gowling to Keystone on 1 July. Services needed include: providing Counsel opinion to support pension committee decision-making, ensuring compliance with legal requirements, and mitigating financial and legal risks to the pension fund. Legal advice will also inform a final decision that must be escalated to the Policy and Finance Committee. The matter is complex and requires continuity with the existing legal team to provide cohesive advice and risk mitigation strategies.
