Job Description:

This powerhouse firm is seeking its next Pensions PSL to join their award-winning team.

If you're looking for a fee-free role, this is your opportunity to join an outstanding Pensions department as a PSL, where you'll have all the resources and support you need to become a respected expert in Pensions.

You will be a 4+PQE Pension Solicitor looking to make a real impact in their vibrant, collaborative Glasgow office.

Firm

This firm has a renowned reputation amongst clients and employees alike. Due to a flat hierarchical structure, cooperative and open working environment and premium clients, the business has attracted some of the leading legal experts in the UK. These staff members have developed expertise across a range of practice areas, gaining countless accolades from the Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners, both as a firm and as individuals.

Positive reports about the supportive and nourishing working environment are reflected in the company’s revenue, which has shown exponential growth and resulted in expansion across the UK. In part, this is due to the firm's belief that staff are the key to their success, which results in heavy investment in staff development and a flexible approach to work-life balance.

Taking on an innovative and forward-thinking mindset, this firm seeks to encourage ambition and creativity and takes real steps to go the extra mile for the clients, without compromising the happiness of their employees.

Clients include some of the most prestigious companies and private individuals. As such, lawyers working for this firm should expect exposure to high-quality, large-scale work that will showcase their ability and skills as legal professionals.

Role

This role is not a fee-earning position and as such you will have far more flexibility in how you go about conducting your work and harnessing your time.

Upon joining this supportive and collaborative pensions team, you will become an expert in pensions law, eager to share your expertise with both clients and colleagues. By designing and delivering structured training sessions, you will address any gaps in legal knowledge, playing a key role in maintaining the accuracy and performance of the team.

You will thrive in legal research, proactively staying up to date with developments and changes in pensions law. Using innovative, tech-driven approaches, you will ensure your team is fully informed and clearly understands the current pensions landscape.

If you want to step away from a fee-earning role, develop a deep level of expertise in your field and contribute to a team conducting impactful work, this is the role for you.

Ideal Candidate

• Is an ambitious individual with 4 years of PQE in Pensions
• Excellent verbal/written communicator with first-rate interpersonal skills
• Ability to comprehend and accurately convey complex legal developments through structure training and learning sessions
• Has a proactive, innovative and value-adding mindset

• Become a key contributor to a team conducting meaningful work

• Generous salary commensurate to experience
• Excellent package including financial protection measures, well-being considerations and favourable holiday/leave entitlements
