A well-established pensions provider is looking to appoint a Pensions Legal Counsel to join its growing legal team, providing pragmatic, commercial pensions advice across the business.

This is a broad pensions-focused role with plenty of variety — spanning scheme queries, operational issues, and requiring the commercial awareness and ability to spot crossover issues such as tax, regulatory, data privacy, alongside involvement in wider change programmes.

What's involved:

  • Providing comprehensive, timely and pragmatic legal advice on pensions matters to the business, Trustees and internal teams
  • Identifying, managing and mitigating legal risks, including disputes and litigation support
  • Drafting, reviewing and negotiating documentation with third parties
  • Monitoring regulatory developments affecting pensions activities and advising the business accordingly
  • Supporting company-wide programme and change projects with pensions expertise
  • Liaising with external stakeholders including regulators, external counsel and industry bodies

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
