We do lots of M&A and corporate transactions work and get involved in plenty of interesting deals alongside the usual 'vanilla' due diligence work. We have a professional support lawyer to help keep us informed about the latest developments and to lead on our regular training programme. We are part of a market leading full service law firm with the largest office in Leeds meaning we have access to investment, funding and derivatives experts, data protection and cyber security teams, finance and employment lawyers to name a few and a separate team of pensions disputes lawyers we work closely with on any contentious matters.

We are keen to have someone who: Ideally has at least 4 years PQE in pensions and is looking to develop that further with exposure to a wider range of clients or work types that we can offer; Can demonstrate a strong technical base but does not have to be an expert in all areas e.g. you may have a practice that is more DC or DB focused and either is fine;  Likes to be out in the market building their network and gaining insights that they can use for clients' benefit, alongside managing their client work load; Is collaborative, organised, professional and feels ready for a new challenge; Would want responsibility and who approach clients and matters with initiative and proactivity, albeit within a highly supportive framework of oversight and peer review when needed.
