Pensions Lawyer - 5 years+ PQE

Job description

PENSIONS LAWYER - 5 years+ PQE - BIRMINGHAM

Make the best move in your legal career by joining a vibrant pensions legal team in the Midlands, working in a challenging and rewarding area of the law.

The Midlands is a great place to live with attractions such as its own symphony orchestra, premiership football, international cricket, a Royal Ballet and great shopping. Not to mention all the great places to eat out and transport links that mean you can easily commute from the leafy suburbs in under 30 minutes and get to London on a train in an hour and a quarter.

You will have the advantage of being in a large international firm like Pinsents, but the intimacy of being in a balanced local team that works well together. We have embedded a range of diversity & inclusion initiatives to create an environment in which all can flourish. We operate an agile working scheme backed with an 'office anywhere' IT solution, which offers us all flexibility in terms of where we work.

The Team

Both nationally and locally our pensions team is highly rated with an enviable client list including PLCs, trustees of large pension schemes and large insurers. You would be joining a team with a great track record undertaking fantastic and varied work. We are first and foremost great people to work with. With a large number of juniors and a supportive and inclusive culture we aim to make working for us professionally stimulating and enjoyable.

As a pension lawyer of 5 years+ PQE we have a clear opportunity for a senior lawyer to dovetail into our team structure. You will work with a great team of juniors and the partners and support our established client service teams. Our career progression offers the right candidate the opportunity to embed in the team and develop their career as suits their future aspirations.

As one of the largest pensions teams in a UK law firm, we have a great breadth of expertise and we have successfully future-proofed our practice by extending our work into areas that are outside of the traditional comfort zone for pension lawyers - examples of this being our high-profile work for pension providers and master trusts, and our ground-breaking work in relation to pension fund investment in infrastructure. Future proofing is one thing, we also have a great list of traditional trustee clients many of whom have been with the team for a very long time as well as important new wins from other practices. You are as likely to be advising scheme trustees as you are corporates or insurers.

We want you

Whether you are looking to move out of London for a better work / life balance, looking for meaningful career prospects, wanting a greater variety of work, feeling supported in a balanced pensions team or simply fed up where you are - we would love to talk to you. At your level of experience, these things need to develop but it all starts with a call.
