Edinburgh, Edinburgh, United Kingdom Aegon Full time

We're Aegon. We're a company of ambitious, positive problem-solvers who get things done. We're a team, not a group of individuals. Collaboration is our life force and we believe it's our duty to leave things better than we find them.

We help people live their best lives. We help them with the big stuff, for the moments that matter: Pensions, Savings, Investments. At Aegon, we strive in creating a diverse organisation that plays a meaningful role in driving greater equity, inclusion and belonging.

We're seeking a trainee solicitor to undertake a two-year training programme in at least three areas of law covering both contentious and non-contentious work. You'll build knowledge and experience, working with more autonomy and on more complex legal matters in your second year. We offer a supportive and collaborative environment to help you succeed.

We'd love to hear from you if you have
  • A LLB Degree in law, preferably a 2:1 or better at degree level
  • A Diploma in Professional Legal Practice
  • Demonstrated efficiency in time-management skills to manage assigned tasks.
  • Proven ability to adapt and thrive in fast-paced, dynamic work environments.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to identify and analyse legal implications associated with business issues.
  • Experience conducting thorough legal research and applying findings to business-specific requirements.
  • Proven ability to collaborate effectively with team members and demonstrate strong problem-solving abilities using sound judgement and reasoning.
It'd also be great – but not essential - if you've got
  • Previous experience working in the Financial Services industry
  • Experience of working in an in-house legal team or in private practice
What's in it for you?
  • A non-contributory pension between 8%-12%
  • A discretionary bonus, depending on personal and company performance
  • 34 days leave per year (including bank holidays, pro-rated for part-time)

We also offer private medical cover, life assurance, critical illness cover, enhanced parental leave and a variety of lifestyle benefits to help our employees live their best lives, including retail discount vouchers, cycle2work scheme, subsidised restaurant and online GP appointments.

The legal bits

We'll need you to confirm you have the right to work in the UK. If we offer you a job and you accept, there are some checks we need to complete before you can start with us. This will include a credit and criminal record check, as well as providing satisfactory references.

We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons regardless of their age, disability, race, religion/belief, gender, sexual orientation or gender identity.
