London, Greater London, United Kingdom Gowling WLG Full time
About the Team

Gowling WLG's pensions law team is a multi-award winning group of around 50 pensions lawyers. We pride ourselves on being good people to work with and offering:

  • Advice that goes beyond just information or legal opinions
  • Plain language explanations
  • Advice backed by the highest technical standards

We regularly win awards for being a good place to work, for our diversity initiatives, and for the way we handle trainees and training contracts. Our team operates as a single unit across two UK offices, with roughly equal numbers in Birmingham and London.

Main Duties and Responsibilities

This role will primarily involve acting for trustees of pension schemes (but sometimes corporates as well) providing advice on a wide range of pensions law, including:

  • Day-to-day advice to trustees of pension schemes ranging in size from very small to over £1bn
  • Scheme change exercises
  • The impact of corporate re-organisations and negotiating appropriate mitigation
  • Scheme documentation
  • Impact of legislative changes, including changes resulting from case law (GMP equalisation)
  • Scheme mergers
  • Scheme wind ups
  • All aspects of risk transfer
  • Liability reduction exercises
  • Investment issues, including investment management agreements

We like our lawyers to develop their own personalities in the pensions market and, as a senior lawyer in the team, you would be expected to be involved in business development and profile raising as well as pure legal work. Our lawyers have a passion for pensions and they are not afraid to flaunt it.

Key Skills and Experience

The ideal candidate for this role will be a qualified Solicitor with 6+ years' PQE.

  • Track record of advising trustees of large occupational pension schemes and large employers on pensions matters, including taking a lead role on large, strategic projects (experience of risk transfer projects would be an advantage)
  • Track record of managing and supervising junior lawyers to provide an excellent service to clients
  • Excellent understanding of the principal provisions of relevant pensions legislation and how to apply them in the context of a client's key commercial drivers
  • Track record of building and maintaining long term client relationships
  • Experience of participating in client development events
  • Clear understanding of the importance of accurate and efficient financial management
  • Track record of involvement in a broad range of marketing and profile raising initiatives
  • Experience of writing technical articles and the presentation of seminars and other briefing sessions
  • Developed understanding of the commercial issues impacting on a client's business

We would look for the successful applicant to have:

  • Solid organisation and time management skills
  • Experience of working in a team and the ability to develop relationships with colleagues and clients alike
  • Proven attention to detail and drafting skills
  • Sound problem solving skills
  • Ability to adapt to a broad range of situations and circumstances and remain calm under pressure
  • Proven understanding of technical legal issues in their chosen field
  • Strong interpersonal, communication and negotiation skills
What We Can Offer You

The opportunity to work for a firm which has been recognised as one of the best places to work in the UK and has been ranked by Great Place to Work for 24 consecutive years.

  • A hybrid approach to office and remote working
  • Lawyer bonus
  • Generous annual leave, with the option to buy up to a week's extra annual leave
  • Private medical insurance, and the option to add family members
  • Generous pension allowance
  • Life assurance covering four times your annual salary
  • The chance of a three-month sabbatical every five years
  • Maternity, paternity and adoption leave schemes
  • A range of health and wellbeing programmes
  • State of the art offices
  • Opportunities to flourish in your role through training and personal development

Many of our people work flexibly in some way. If you would like to explore your own flexible working arrangements with us, we are happy to discuss this during the recruitment process.

The firm believes in equality of opportunity regardless of race or racial group (including colour, nationality, ethnicity, national origins), religion or belief, age, disability, sexual orientation, sex, gender re-assignment and gender identity, marriage and civil partnership, and pregnancy, maternity and paternity.
