Wragge & Co LLP Pensions team has been appointed to advise the trustees of the £120 million Fujitsu Comparable Pension Scheme. The scheme is Fujitsu Services' primary pension vehicle for employees joining under TUPE regulations.

Pensions partner Jason Coates led the team, assisted by Wragge & Co public sector pensions specialists, director Paul Carberry and associate Jenny Naylor. The team will work with Fujitsu Services' in-house Pensions team to advise the trustees on all issues.

Fujitsu Services' pensions manager Paula Evans said: "The scheme is Fujitsu Services' primary pension vehicle for employees joining under TUPE regulations. Wragge & Co's depth of resource in the public sector outsourcing arena was key to our decision."

Jason Coates said: "The appointment to such a well-known and respected name as Fujitsu highlights Wragge & Co's stand-out reputation in the pensions sector. The team's expertise in both private and public scheme pensions will ensure full-service advice to the trustees."

Wragge & Co's 35-lawyer Pensions team is one of the largest in the UK. Described by Chambers UK as 'really in a different league from much of the competition in terms of expertise', it was named European Pensions Firm of the Year at the 2008 European Pensions Awards. In the past 12 months, highlights include advising the trustee of the Delta Pension Plan on a £451 million deal with Pensions Insurance Corporation and the appointment of Mike Woodall as the team's public sector pensions strategist.
