Full job description
We are looking for an experienced solicitor to join our pensions team in Edinburgh – working with clients generated and serviced from our growing Edinburgh team. The role offers the opportunity to work on a broad range of pensions matters, supporting trustees and employers across defined benefit and defined contribution schemes. You’ll be part of a collaborative team, contributing to high‑quality advisory work while continuing to develop your technical skills in practice.
About the Role
We have one of the largest and most highly regarded specialist pensions teams in the UK, with top tier rankings in both Chambers and the Legal 500.

We also have considerable experience advising on group pensions, master trusts, insurance products (including buy-in and buy-out arrangements), longevity products and other structures. Unlike many other pensions practices, we also work on litigation within the team, as this enables us to brief clients in full on any potentially contentious issues and provides a balanced approach to our advice.
This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Pensions Associate to join our market-leading Pensions team, working within a supportive, collaborative, and high-performing environment.
About You
We will invest in your ongoing training and development to support your professional goals and help you to thrive in your role from day one. You’ll be involved in a wide range of high quality advisory work and you’ll receive exceptional training in a supportive and collaborative team. Our opportunities are open to all suitably qualified applicants, so to be considered for this role, you must meet the following skills and experience:
2-5 years of PQE
Ability to demonstrate an interest in, and enthusiasm for, the pensions market
Possess excellent relevant experience from a recognised pensions team
A strong academic background
Excellent communication skills
Ability to maintain high levels of accuracy and attention to detail
Demonstrate an ambition to succeed with a commitment to client relationship management and business development
Be well organised with effective prioritisation skill
What’s in it for you?
We want to reward you today and help you plan for tomorrow. We appreciate that everyone is different, therefore we have designed a benefits system that offers choice and flexibility based on individual needs and lifestyles. To name a few, these include:
Competitive basic salary (reviewed annually)
Flexible, hybrid working policy
Generous bonus scheme
Up to 25 days holiday (rising to 28 days with service)
Holiday exchange scheme
Private medical insurance
Enhanced parental leave
Reasonable adjustments and accommodation for disabled talent in accordance with the Equality Act 2010.
