London, United Kingdom Mayer Brown LLP Full time

Overview:
Mayer Brown is a leading global law firm with offices in 27 key business centres across the Americas, Asia, Europe and the Middle East. With approximately 200 lawyers in each of the world’s three largest financial centres — New York, London and Hong Kong — we are uniquely positioned to advise leading companies and financial institutions on their most complex legal needs. We have deep experience in high-stakes litigation and complex transactions across industry sectors, including our signature strength, the global financial services industry.

We are a collegial, collaborative and diverse firm where highly motivated individuals with an unwavering commitment to excellence receive the opportunity, support and development they need to grow, thrive and realise their greatest potential. We also encourage all our people to use their skills to support the wider community through our pro bono and community volunteering programmes. At Mayer Brown the principles of mutual respect, dignity and understanding are central to the way we work and help to provide an environment where diversity and inclusion are embraced.

**The Role**: Associate - Pensions (2-4PQE)

**The Department**: Pensions

(Although Pensions is part of the wider Employment and Benefits Group, the role is for a pensions lawyer.)

**The Team**:
Mayer Brown's Pensions group has lawyers in key business centers across Europe and Asia, offering sophisticated solutions to the most complex issues facing our pensions clients.

Our UK pensions team is 15 strong with 5 partners. We act for pension schemes of all sizes including some of the largest ones. We also act for employers. Our pensions work covers many sectors and types of schemes. Examples of our work includes advising on scheme funding matters, benefits design changes, scheme mergers, corporate activity and transactions. Investment, de-risking, disputes and the whole myriad of pensions issues. Whilst we provide support to our Corporate colleagues on transactions, corporate support is a relatively small part of our practice, comprising about 10% of our work.

Our market leading finance, corporate, insurance, and litigation practices work very closely in providing a joined up and holistic service to our trustee and employer clients.

Many of our clients are household names covering the retail, finance and electricity/energy sectors.

Our pensions partners encourage our team, whatever level, to be involved in business development activities and we ensure our junior lawyers get face to face client interaction so they gain experience as early as possible. We are a collegiate and inclusive team.

A qualified Solicitor (England & Wales) with 2-4 years post qualification experience.

- Be self-motivated and possess a very pro-active attitude;

At Mayer Brown, we are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive work environment that offers our people the opportunity and support they need to succeed. We are therefore happy to discuss any reasonable adjustments that individuals may require throughout the recruitment process and once they have joined the Firm.

In addition, one of our core values at Mayer Brown is to promote diversity and inclusion at all levels within the business which is actively supported by our diversity networks - LGBT+, Fusion (Race and Ethnicity), Women, Enable (Disability) and Work and Me (Family).
