Bloxham: Freshfields considered 'Heroes' in pensions overhaul
2007-07-11 14:03 UTC by Charlotte Edmond, contributor

Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer was accused of "inter-generational unfairness" by ex-partner Peter Bloxham, who took the stand yesterday (10 July) in an age discrimination claim against his former firm, worth £4.5m. The 54-year-old retiree complained to the tribunal about the way he was treated at the hands of Freshfields in a deal which saw his pension drawings cut by 20% when the firm phased in a new pensions plan. He says the new pension scheme "forced" him to retire six months earlier than he otherwise would have done.
