The role

Due to continued growth, we are looking for an experienced pensions solicitor to join our top-ranked team. This is an exciting opportunity to join a successful team at a senior level, to support further growth, to lead on supporting our clients, and to help develop more junior members of the team.





You will undertake a broad mix of pensions work, supporting our trustee and employer clients along with taking on interested and varied work for our public sector pensions clients. There will also be corporate and commercial clients to advise on. Clients include the likes of the defined benefit schemes sponsored by Cambridge University, the University of East Anglia, the Publicis Groupe pension schemes as well as acting for charities, NHS Trusts and other university clients. You will work closely with other colleagues in banking, commercial, corporate and employment.

The person

You will have 8+ years' employment experience gained in a reputable firm with a substantive pensions law practice.



We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if we receive sufficient applications for the role. Therefore, if you are interested, please submit your application as early as possible.

The benefits

As you'd expect, we offer a competitive salary and a wide range of benefits.

Pre employment screening

If we offer you a role, we will conduct comprehensive pre-employment screening. This screening will include, but is not limited to, a basic DBS, verification of your right to work, a three year employment history and a self-declaration to assess your character and suitability for the role. Full details of our pre-screening employment process are available upon request.

The firm

Mills & Reeve is centred on achieving more for clients, their businesses and the wider communities we serve. Our clients and their industries benefit from our knowledge and learning, and receive consistent experiences with no surprises. We tell them what they need to know when they need to know it.



We build personal relationships, with advice individually tailored to individual need. And if clients need things we don't offer, we draw on our network to give recommendations. Our 1,250 plus people and over 750 lawyers share one vision - achieving more for clients.



By joining Mills & Reeve, you'll have the chance to build your skills and experience within a firm that's not only ranked in the top 50 UK law firms, but also one that truly values their people. Our mantra is "Achieve more. Together.", which we feel embodies our purpose and is more than just a catchphrase! We're also ranked in the Sunday Times Best Places to Work list, and were recently awarded Platinum Investors in People.

We're committed to providing an inclusive and supportive working environment, are happy to consider flexible working arrangements, and want to achieve the right balance for both our people and the firm.
