Pensions | Benefits
In the complex world of Canadian pensions regulation and administration, clients need a law firm that can lead them through the maze. If your pension plan is regulated in Quebec but you have members in Ontario and Alberta, you need a national law firm. If your industry is federally regulated but you have divisions that operate under provincial regulations, you need a law firm with experience in both. If special tax or investment rules apply, you need a full service law firm that can bring in tax and securities expertise when needed.

In Canada, that law firm is Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP.

Our Pensions and Benefits Group is one of the most experienced in Canada. We act for private and public sector employers with both unionized and non-unionized workforces. We advise on the pension issues involved in mergers and acquisitions. We represent clients before courts and tribunals across the country. We help employers, administrators, trustees and pension committees understand their options and responsibilities and structure their programs to deal with today’s challenges as well as tomorrow’s. Our primary concern is prompt, effective response that results in cost-efficient solutions to our clients’ problems.
