Zedra has appointed Alastair Meeks to be its new client director,
Meeks, who will be based in the firm’s London offices, joins from legal firm Pinsent Masons, where he has worked for almost three decades, becoming a partner and running its independent trustee and pension scheme secretarial business. Meeks is also a previous chair of the Association of Pension Lawyers.
Zedra Governance managing director Kim Nash says: “Our recruitment of first-class client directors who can be far more tailored and strategic in their approach to supporting clients, is testament to the bespoke and distinctive service we offer.”
“[Meeks’]legal expertise will be helpful in this role, particularly for schemes facing major litigation, where corporate restructuring has had a material impact on covenant, or in evaluating the strategic options arising from surpluses.”
She adds that the firms clients have different needs, so it’s imperative they have access to experts with a wide range of skills and experience, from varied backgrounds, to best suit their goals and objectives.
Meeks added: “I am looking forward to bringing my years of legal expertise into play in an environment that allows me to develop creative solutions and guide trustee boards through their decision making.”
