Leading head in Pension law
JUVE handbook

Bernd Klemm concentrates on pension law. He has spent six months in the firm's London office in the Pension Department in 2001 in order to gain international experience in the occupational pensions’ area.

Bernd is one of the most highly recognised lawyers for pension law in Germany and built up a pension practice in Germany long before most of our competitors even thought about establishing pension teams. Not by chance is he therefore considered as one of the "leading heads" in Germany regarding pension law advice (JUVE).

Bernd will provide you with competent, practical and solution-oriented advice, tailored to your business needs. He can assist you on all issues of occupational pension schemes including implementation, reorganization and termination of pension systems. One focus of his consulting next to the transaction support is the private law company insolvency protection and the outsourcing of liabilities for employee claims from company pensions, part-time and working time accounts, especially by means of trust structures (Contractual Trust Arrangements – CTA).

Bernd is head of the firm's German Pensions practice. He is editor of a textbook on pension schemes and co-editor of the renowned handbook Beck'sches Formularbuch Arbeitsrecht.
