HL UK PensionsPod: Global Perspectives - Insights from Germany
16 June 2026
In this episode of HL PensionsPod, senior associate Jade Rigby is joined by Dr. Thomas Frank, a senior associate in our employment practice in Germany. Together, they discuss the pensions landscape in Germany, the main types of pension arrangements and the absence of mandatory contribution powers, meaning many employees do not have any pensions entitlements. Jade and Thomas also look ahead at the reforms recently brought into Germany, introducing greater flexibility at retirement, the option of early pension payment and the expansion of defined contribution pension schemes.
