An exciting opportunity has arisen for a lawyer to join our pensions team. The team specialise in finding commercially effective solutions to pensions problems, drafting scheme documentation and advising on transactions involving pension schemes.
Provide good quality, consistent, timely, solution focussed and pragmatic pensions law advice to trustee and employer clients across the public and private sector.
Contribute specific, technical analysis of the pension law aspects of corporate activity and take a role in negotiations to ensure an appropriate outcome.
Contribute to the internal legal knowledge management system and support the learning and development of colleagues and clients through formal or informal training.
Provide high quality robust legal advice on the interpretation of scheme rules, the exercise of discretionary powers and the management of pension disputes, including the instruction of Counsel where appropriate.
Work on risk reduction and risk transfer exercises, including liability management and other one-off projects such as incentive exercises and scheme closures, mergers, demergers, buy-outs and wind-ups.
Provide support on mergers, acquisitions or disposals, covering everything from an assessment of the seller's pension arrangements to advice on warranties and the employer debt regime.
Advise on compliance with the auto-enrolment regime, including the use of contractual enrolment and salary sacrifice arrangements, whether particular individuals are within the scope of the regime and the implications of changing to a new provider.
Advise on public sector pensions, particularly involving the local government, healthcare and education sectors (including admissions to and exits from public sector schemes and the use of risk sharing mechanisms).
Provide specialist advice, knowledge management and training to other business units.
A mix of transactional and advisory work behind you, gained as part of a reputable pensions team and a willingness to continue with both strands of work.

Experience of providing consistent, clear, audience tailored, legal advice on a range of pension law matters.
