APLI pensions essay competition now open
The Association of Pension Lawyers in Ireland (APLI) has announced details of its 2023 essay competition.
The competition is open to all law students, trainee solicitors and barristers, and practitioners with less than two years of post-qualification experience.
This year’s topic is: ‘IORP II has introduced an entirely new layer of regulation for occupational pension schemes. But does increased regulation always mean better pension schemes for members, or does it simply erode pension savings through the increased cost of compliance?’
€4,000 for winner
Essays should be between 2,000 and 3,000 words, and the deadline for entries is Friday, 9 June.
The first prize is €4,000, while the runner-up will receive €1,000.
