Manchester, United Kingdom Eversheds Sutherland Full time
Summary

We are Eversheds Sutherland, a global law firm, with 5,000+ colleagues in more than 30 countries. We’re full service with deep niche and sector experience. Whatever challenge, wherever in the world, we’re equipped and ready to meet it. We live our values, we’re purposeful and purpose-led. So although the world is fast-moving and rapidly changing, we see it as a place where everyone can thrive. We’re ambitious for our clients, our communities – and for you. Whether you’re starting out on your career or well established, whether you’re a lawyer or in business services. If you’re looking for what’s next, we are too.

What to expect

As a lawyer, you enjoy a variety of work: regional to international and across practice groups. With us, you grow your global mindset. You’re encouraged to put ideas into action and there’s always something new and different to get involved in. We see the fast-moving world as a place where we can all thrive and succeed. We’re excited for what’s next, so with us, you can be too.

Our team

The Eversheds Sutherland Global Employment, Labour and Pensions practice is highly respected and our strong reputation is illustrated by our consistent representation in global directory rankings. Our lawyers are at the forefront of their fields in terms of technical knowledge and subject matter. We provide employers across the globe with a comprehensive employment, compensation, immigration and pensions service, from single country matters to large and complex multi-jurisdictional projects.

Our Pensions team is experienced in advising all the relevant stakeholders involved with pensions and retirement benefit plans, including employers, employers’ associations, trustees / fiduciaries, public authorities, providers and insurers. As one of the largest global law firms we offer one of the most comprehensive global pensions law services.

We have one of the biggest teams of dedicated pensions and retirement plan lawyers in the world. We keep our clients ahead of the curve - we are represented on and work directly with the bodies making law and policy, in the UK, Europe, EMEA and the US. This means we can advise on the basis of where we know the law is going, not based on where it was yesterday.

Role and key responsibilities

We have an opening for an experienced Senior lawyer in our Pensions team in Manchester and Leeds. Our preferred candidate will have at least 7 years’ plus post qualification experience.

Rapidly changing pensions and employment law requires us to be fleet of foot and highly responsive to the evolving operational, strategic and commercial needs of our clients. That takes more than just strong technical expertise. It takes flexible professionals with the emotional intelligence to relate to clients, understand the unique challenges they face, and build successful long-term relationships.

You will be involved in some of the highest profile work for some of the largest pension schemes and their company sponsors. There are numerous specialisms for you to get involved with including public sector pensions, pensions investment, pensions insurance, international employee benefits, master trusts and pensions litigation to name just a few.

Ours is a team that believes in helping make pensions law and policy – not just waiting for things to change. We are at the forefront of cutting edge developments in the pensions industry, working with influential industry bodies like the CBI, the PLSA, Pensions Europe and the Hundred Group. We are proud to lead the way with new developments – we were part of the team that developed the simpler annual benefit statement, we advised on the BHS pension scheme, and we are closely involved with the Clara pension scheme, one of the new breed DB consolidators.

As an integral part of the team, you will support and offer guidance to junior lawyers in the team. Provide first rate client service, through strong communication skills that enable you to build effective relationships with existing and new clients.

We would be very happy to hear from applicants who have worked in industry and who wish to return to private practice.

Skills and experience

In order to be successful, the applicant must be able to meet client needs, both from a commercial and technical perspective and build exceptional relationships with internal and external contacts.

Applicants will have good communication and influencing skills together with technical skills and knowledge. They will enjoy working as part of a team but be equally able to manage their own matters efficiently and promptly.

We are looking for candidates who can show they are client-centered and can manage quality, risk and finance and delegate work to a wider team.

What’s in it for you?

At Eversheds Sutherland, we provide benefits focused on looking after you: your development, your performance, your financial future and your health, as well as providing the opportunity to make a contribution to the world.

We’re fair, transparent and equitableOur people share in the success of the firm, and we align reward to our values, whilst recognising your individual performanceWe support flexible ways of working through our remote working policy and commitment to flexible, agile and hybrid ways of workingWe support your health and performance through our dental, healthcare and wellness supportWe support everything you are and all you bring through our powerful commitment to diversity and inclusionWe provide a platform for your career, whatever your ambitions, through our structured professional and personal training, mentoring and development programsWe provide experience and opportunity through international and cross-function exposureWe provide an opportunity to give back through our pro bono work and community engagementWe help you plan ahead through retirement planning, insurance and assurance

Diversity and inclusion

At Eversheds Sutherland, “Inclusive” is a core business value. We bring together different skillsets, global mindsets and approaches. We foster diversity of thought and the freedom to put ideas into action. We have an inherent respect for the individual. We have a strong belief in collaboration and teamwork. Sharing ideas, asking questions, solving challenges and meeting our clients’ goals: together.

We want all our people to thrive at work and reach their full potential and we work hard to continue to build a diverse and inclusive culture, monitor and report on our progress and impact, and develop our approach. This is reflected in our policies, systems and processes, and in our work with diversity membership organisations.

For you, for your success. And for what’s next.
