We are working with a leading national law firm that is looking to hire for their ranked Pensions Team on a contract basis.

The successful individual will join a highly regarded, friendly and inclusive team and can expect to work with individuals and matters across all national offices. It is likely that the successful candidate will possess experience sufficient to manage a caseload, support the delivery of pensions advice on day-to-day matters and complex one-off projects.
