Pensions Solicitor

Pensions Associate | 1+ Years PQE | Manchester

Manchester is home to one of the firm's fastest-growing pensions teams, and the work flowing through it reflects that momentum. The team advises some of the UK's best-known employers - household names, major public bodies, universities, and charities - on schemes that affect thousands of people. The Manchester office sits at the heart of a national practice, but it has a distinctly local identity: ambitious, collaborative, and increasingly the destination for complex pensions work in the North West.

The work

You will manage a mixed caseload from early on, advising on both private and public sector schemes. The team's Manchester base means you will see a steady diet of high-quality, varied instructions, including:

\n
• Day-to-day employer advisory work for household-name clients
\n
• Scheme documentation, governance advice, and regulatory matters
\n
• Pensions aspects of outsourcing, restructurings, and corporate transactions
\n
• Public sector scheme work, including LGPS, NHS, Teachers' Pension Scheme, and more
\n
• Defined benefit and defined contribution arrangements across multiple sectors
\n
