Legal Secretary jobs in United Kingdom

We are working with a leading pensions law firm to recruit a qualified Pensions Litigation Lawyer for an initial 6-month contract.

This is an excellent opportunity for a talented litigator to join a respected team and gain hands-on experience across a range of complex pensions and trust disputes.

Reporting to a senior partner specialising in contentious pensions matters, you’ll support litigation work and may also be required to assist partners on non-contentious matters.

• 1+ years’ post-qualification experience (PQE) preferred, though flexibility is available for the right candidate.
• UK-qualified or foreign-qualified (e.g., Australia, New Zealand) welcome to apply.
• Background in trust, pensions, or financial services litigation highly desirable.
• Must be proactive, organised, responsive, and demonstrate a strong work ethic.
• Should show a degree of commitment and stability across roles, though we appreciate the nature of contract work.

• Role can be based in London or Leeds.
• Hybrid working available; however, the team typically works in the office a minimum of 3 days per week. (Leeds office tends to be in-person most days.)
• Hybrid working requests for specific circumstances can be considered.

• Competitive day rate or salary range offered based on experience and location.
