Pensions Lawyer - Part Time

A rare opportunity has arisen for a talented pensions lawyer to take on a part-time Knowledge Lawyer position within a top-tier legal team. This is a highly visible, intellectually stimulating role that offers a chance to shape the direction of legal knowledge and training within a leading international firm’s pensions practice. Be part of a respected pensions team advising major corporates, trustees, and financial institutions. Contribute directly to knowledge strategy, training programmes, and thought leadership that influence both internal teams and external clients. Work closely with partners, associates, and business services specialists in a supportive and professional environment. This is a part-time, (2 days a week), 12-month fixed-term contract. Reporting to the Pensions Partners and Head of Knowledge, you will work closely with an existing Knowledge Counsel to lead the development and dissemination of know-how, maintain legal resources, coordinate training, and contribute to the team\’s external client-facing content. The role will also involve analysing legal developments and identifying opportunities for the team to provide market-leading insight. Develop and deliver high-quality knowledge resources, including model documents, precedents, internal guidance, and training materials for lawyers at all levels. Coordinate and contribute to client-facing content such as seminars, webinars, newsletters, podcasts, and thought leadership pieces. Monitor and analyse legal and regulatory developments to support horizon scanning, client updates, and strategic insights. Respond to legal queries, assist with research, and maintain the team’s intranet and knowledge systems. This position would suit a qualified pensions lawyer with at least five years’ post-qualification experience, ideally at senior associate level or above. While prior experience in a knowledge lawyer role is advantageous, it is not essential. The successful candidate will be an excellent communicator and legal drafter, with strong organisational skills, commercial awareness, and a genuine interest in legal know-how and professional development. This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially minded and collaborative pensions lawyer to take on a pivotal knowledge role in a highly regarded team. Offering a competitive salary commensurate with experience, you’ll play a key part in maintaining legal excellence and supporting the continued success of a dynamic and client-focused practice.
