Julie Peaple

Julie is Director of Pensions and Public law, and Deputy General Counsel, at Nest Corporation, the trustee of the Nest pension scheme. She advises the Nest Board on decision-making and their responsibilities as a public body and as a trustee. Her remit covers both pensions law, including advising on the NEST Order and Rules and managing legal risks in proposition development, and public law, given the Corporation’s public body status. She has worked for Nest Corporation since its establishment in 2010 and, before that, for its predecessor, the Personal Accounts Delivery Authority. The unique interaction of two bodies of law - public law and pensions trust law – to which the Corporation is subject, and the continually evolving nature of the auto enrolment and master trust legislative framework it operates within, creates an interesting and challenging legal environment.
