Overview
We are working with a firm operating at the very top of the market that is seeking to make a strategic hire at Legal Director level. The role sits within a high‑performing pensions team with an excellent reputation, a sophisticated and loyal client base, and a clear long‑term growth strategy. The successful candidate will join a practice that is investing meaningfully in its future and is committed to strengthening its senior bench to meet increasing client demand. There are also strong prospects for progression, supported by identifiable succession needs in the short to medium term.
Market context
Any pensions lawyer keeping a close eye on the market will be familiar with the increasing consolidation across private practice. Firms are becoming far more deliberate about ensuring they have the right platform, depth of expertise and strategic positioning to capitalise on the shifting demands of a rapidly evolving pensions landscape. With regulatory change, market movement and client expectations all accelerating, this is an unusually dynamic moment to consider your next step.
Application deadline Friday 10th July
About our recruitment approach
As a specialist pensions recruiter, we can provide clear, informed advice on the evolving private practice landscape and offer a comprehensive overview of opportunities across the city. A number of these roles are off‑market, reflecting the strength of our relationships and the preference of many partners to take a more discreet, passive approach to team growth to ensure they remain aware of the best talent in the market.
Next steps
If you would like more information about this position or would value a confidential discussion about the broader market, please let us know. Before moving into recruitment, Jane qualified and practised as a pension solicitor, giving her a first‑hand understanding of the technical, commercial and cultural considerations that matter when making a move.
