The Opportunity
The team advises a broad client base including employers, trustees, financial institutions, intermediaries, government bodies, and corporate buyers and sellers on all aspects of occupational and, increasingly, personal pension arrangements.
You will act for clients across a range of sectors including accountancy, professional and business services; infrastructure and transport; financial institutions; insurance and reinsurance; and technology, media and telecommunications (TMT).

Key requirements:

• Ideally 2-4.5 years' post-qualification experience in pensions law (the firm is happy to be flexible)
• Strong academic background (minimum 2:1 degree classification)
• Experience gained at a City or leading regional firm with a recognised pensions practice
