Association of Pension Lawyers
- Association of Pension Lawyers
The Association of Pension Lawyers (APL) is a group of more than 900 lawyers who practise pension law in the UK. It is a non-profit making organisation and has no connection with the Law Society. Founded in 1984, it represents a forum by which lawyers in different firms and barristers' chambers can exchange knowledge and opinions on pension law and developments. It has a strong educational element, with an annual conference, frequent seminars and training conferences for more junior pension lawyers. The APL makes technical (but not political) representations on proposed legislative and regulatory changes. It also offers substantial social networking opportunities between pension lawyers, who as a result are more familiar with each other than is customary in other legal disciplines in the UK. Almost all practising pension lawyers subscribe to APL membership, given the practical benefits of membership.
The APL represents an unusually successful example of co-operation between rival lawyers, and has now had the honour of being imitated by the foundation of the Employment Lawyers Association (ELA).
