James Rickards
Director
I represent Law Debenture across a number of different schemes both as Chair, co-trustee and as Corporate Sole Trustee. My clients include financial institutions, government agencies and well-known names in engineering and retail.
My background as a pensions lawyer (I practiced as a barrister at the Pensions Bar and as a lawyer at the Pensions Regulator) gives me a strong communication and analytical skill set. In particular, I enjoy working collaboratively with fellow trustees, sponsors and advisers and reducing the complex into the simple.
My current appointments (that include off-shore schemes) are busy in terms of de-risking and associated insurance transactions. I am also sought after for my experience of litigation, regulatory issues and general governance. I hold an LLM in Commercial Law from the London School of Economics.
Away from work, I enjoy running around after his two children, wine, cooking, kitesurfing and motorbikes.
