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