He is an experienced pensions partner and advises trustees, employers and local government funds as well as advising on regulatory investigations and the pensions aspects of M&A. He is recognised as a leading individual in Chambers with clients praising his “excellent service” and “clear guidance” and is a member of the Association of Pension Lawyers’ Investment and DC Sub-committee.

Mark Grant, head of pensions at CMS, said: “Building on the appointment of partner Tim Green to our Manchester office a year ago and the promotion of Mark Jenkins to partner in London in May, Jae will add even further depth to our market-leading and award-winning pensions practice.

“He will be working closely with CMS partner Alistair Hill in our Glasgow office, backed by four other pensions lawyers based in Scotland. Jae brings with him a proven track record and deep understanding of the key pensions issues driving the local and national market.”

Mr Fassam said: “CMS is the UK’s market leader for pensions law and it’s a really exciting time to be joining the highly experienced practice in Scotland which has a strong commercial focus to offer private and public sector clients. I look forward to joining the team and helping to bring that market-leading pensions expertise and resource to clients.”
