Careers with us

Who we are

Sacker & Partners LLP is the leading specialist pensions law firm in the UK, consistently ranked top tier in its field. Everything we do is geared towards pensions, a focus which enables us to provide outstanding career development for our legal professionals and a first class service to our clients.

A role at Sackers offers top quality pensions work for a wide range of clients. The diversity of clients brings a variety of scheme structures (no one scheme is ever the same) which ensures you will develop the breadth and depth of all aspects of pensions law. Whilst gaining invaluable practical experience, you will be supported by a comprehensive educational programme throughout your career.

Pensions is one of the hottest topics in the UK right now and a career at Sackers will put you right at the heart of the pensions debate.

Who we look for

These are all qualities Sackers values and looks for in an individual. And whilst strong academics (at least a 2.1 from a good university and As/Bs at A level) and the aptitude to develop excellent legal technical capabilities are essential, we believe that bringing a sense of humour and laughter to working life are key to maintaining the right balance.

Current vacancies

Pensions clients are requiring legal advice across an ever increasing spectrum, delivered effectively. Sackers is one of only a few firms that can provide this complete service. It is because of this ‘flight to quality’ that we have had such successful growth in recent years, a trend which will only continue.

Consequently, we are continually seeking high calibre lawyers to join at the newly qualified or more experienced levels. We also seriously consider talented lawyers with experience outside pensions law.

Your training and career development

Nurturing individual talent is fundamental to realising the full potential of the firm and its people. A commitment to the development of skills, competencies and resourceful specialists is part of our ethos. The firm is deliberately geared towards a 1:1 partner to assistant ratio in order to ensure that you are at the coal face for on the job training. This exposure is integral to the larger comprehensive, varied and tailored training programme which includes mentoring, coaching and goal setting.

You will be encouraged to take an active role within the pensions industry at various levels through participation with associations including National Association of Pension Funds, Pensions Management Institute, Society of Pension Consultants and Association of Pension Lawyers.

And whilst sound legal technical knowledge is essential to and a key foundation of a role within Sackers, without business acumen and other related competencies, the firm would fall short of meeting its high standards of client service. Ensuring that these skills and capabilities are developed on all levels is a winning formula and one of the reasons why our lawyers build a long and successful career with Sackers, with long-standing client relationships.
