Lane Clark & Peacock LLP ("LCP") has added another award to its trophy cabinet after being named European Pensions Consultancy of the Year at the prestigious European Pensions Awards.

LCP fought off strong competition to win the award by demonstrating growth in key European locations, unrelenting client commitment and success in highlighting pensions as a key cross-border strategic issue for multi-nationals. Areas where LCP stood out included the development of its leading-edge UK asset allocation tool, LCP JAZZ, for other European markets; thought leadership such as its European Pensions Briefing and Irish Pensions Accounting Briefing; and its range of client seminars and conferences across Europe.

The past year has also seen LCP launch a new Swiss investment consulting subsidiary (LCP Asalis); grow its international network in France, Spain, Japan and Brazil; and advising clients on buyout transactions in the Netherlands as well as the UK.

According to the judges, LCP impressed with "the significant in-roads they have made into the European pensions space in the last year; coupled with their innovation, excellence and commitment to their clients. The judges were particularly impressed by what LCP had achieved in relation to raising the issue of pensions as a key cross-border strategic issue for multinationals."

Alex Waite, Partner and International Director, said: "We're delighted to have won this award, which recognises our commitment to meeting client needs and delivering the best possible service, an approach which has won us a large number of new clients across Europe in 2009. We do not believe you need to be the biggest firm to be successful - our clients come to us and stay with us because they value our innovative ideas and trusted, independent, partner-led advice."

The awards ceremony was hosted by comedienne Ruby Wax, and was held on 1 July at the Lancaster London Hotel.

The judging panel was made up of 30 senior industry figures.
