This role is offered on TLT’s progressive fully flexible working approach so can be either full or part time. We empower our people to work in a place and at a time that meets their needs, those of their clients and of the wider team and firm. Part of this agile approach is a focus on hybrid working and supporting the work/life balance of our people.

  • Work directly with trustees, employers and benefit consultancies, both nationally and internationally to give pensions advice and establish your own relationship with clients
  • Collaborate closely with our partners, assisting with complex work and long term projects
  • Support junior members within the team, assisting their development and career growth
  • Take an active involvement in business development initiatives
  Your Skills & Experience

You will be/have:

  • A Qualified Solicitor (SRA or Law Society Registered) with previous legal experience in a pensions focused role
  • Experience working with public sector clients would be desirable though not essential
  • A forward thinker, with excellent analytical, communication and organisational skills, you will be self-motivated with the ability to manage workloads and deadlines
  • An ability to give succinct legal advice in an efficient manner whilst understanding and anticipating the commercial needs and objectives of the client
  • Commercially aware with enthusiasm for business development, and an appetite for keeping up-to-date with the latest developments in your practice area and financial sector and public sector focus

 

Your Team

Formed in 2001 the TLT national Pensions Team is recognised in Tier 1 Legal 500 SW, Tier 3 in Manchester, and Tier 3 in London for Pensions Litigation. Four of the team members are recognised in Chambers & Partners.

Sasha Butterworth, TLT’s Senior Partner, leads the team which is described in Chambers UK by an impressed source as “They are the best pension lawyers I have ever dealt with: they are responsive and practical.”

Our key clients include Travelers, Sainsbury’s, Fujitsu Trustee, Arkema Bostik Trustee, the Metropolitan Police Agency, Crown Commercial Services.
