The Pensionist, a pensions podcast - Episode 3: Passing Wealth - Inheritance Tax and Pensions

January 28, 2026 • Fieldfisher • Season 1 • Episode 3

In this episode of The Pensionist, we discuss one of the most pressing and complex challenges currently facing pension scheme administrators and trustees: the changing environment of inheritance tax.

Larisa Gordan, Senior Associate in Fieldfisher’s Pensions team, is joined by David Gallagher, Partner and Head of Pensions at Fieldfisher, and Sir Steve Webb, Partner at Lane Clark & Peacock and former Minister of State for Pensions. Together, they explore what these legislative changes really mean in practice, where the biggest impacts will be felt, and how schemes can prepare for what comes next.
