Manchester, GB

Paul Carney is a partner specialising in pensions law. He is based at Shoosmith LLP\'s Manchester office (which he joined at the end of November 2012). Until November 2012, Paul was a legal director at Addleshaw Goddard LLP having joined the firm as an associate in December 2003. Paul advises corporate and trustee clients on all aspects of pensions law and is recognised as having a particular specialism in the pensions aspects of transfers from the public sector to the private sector (and general outsourcing contracts). He has been referred to in Chambers 2012 as \"a decent guy with a specialism in PFI transactions\" which nearly, but not quite, does him justice. He has been cited in Chambers and in the Legal 500 as an expert consistently during the last 3 years.

ABOUT PAUL CARNEY

I am a solicitor specialising in pensions law and have been a partner at Shoosmiths LLP since November 2012. Before joining Shoosmiths, I was a legal director at Addleshaw Goddard LLP (a firm where I spent 9 excellent years).

I have published articles and practice notes for recognised national publications in the pensions sector and am a member of the Association of Pension Lawyers and the NAPF.
