Working at Sackers
Deciding the practice area to specialise in can be challenging and there are compelling reasons to pick pensions. Here are some views from our team about pensions and working at Sackers.
Building strong relationships
- People who work in pensions are constructive and friendly.You work with clients over many years on a pension scheme - not just on a one off “let’s call the lawyers” incident. At Sackers you get to know the client and understand how pensions fits in with their business. Janet Brown, Partner
Excellent know how and support
- Sackers combines a very high level of pensions expertise with a down to earth approach. The atmosphere is relaxed and professional. I particularly appreciate the excellent level of know how and support from more senior lawyers. The partners are approachable and the client work is varied and of a very high quality. David James, Solicitor
Work/life balance
- At Sackers there is a real commitment to maintaining a work/life balance. Partners actively encourage solicitors to pursue their interests outside work. Workloads are monitored to ensure that work is allocated where there is capacity and not to those who are already at full capacity. In addition, for its larger clients Sackers tends to work in client teams made up of partners, associates and solicitors. This means that work for that particular client can be spread amongst a number of people depending on their level of qualification, the complexity of the job and the workload of the members of the team. Sarah Phillips, Solicitor
Breadth of experience
- Coming to Sackers with no previous pensions experience I have found the training and supervision second to none. I have been given the opportunity to interact with clients from a very early stage and have been exposed to a wide range of pensions work during my first year with the firm. Nigel Cayless, Solicitor
