The Pension Protection Fund (PPF) is the size of a top 5 pension scheme in the UK, managing over GBP30billion AUM for almost 300,000 members, with an excellent team of over 450 people. We have won IPE Pension Fund of the year 4 times in the past 5 years and have an exceptional reputation. We proudly play a unique and very valuable role in the UK pension industry. We are top in our field because of our people.

We re looking for two Pensions Lawyers to join our award–winning legal team to provide comprehensive legal advice to staff, senior management and the Board. This is an exciting time to join the PPF – as a trusted voice in the pensions industry, we re playing a key role in shaping future legislation through our close collaboration with the Department for Work and Pensions, including on the current Pension Schemes Bill.

Reporting to our Managing Counsel, you ll be responsible for providing practical and pragmatic legal advice, taking ownership and demonstrating accountability for providing realistic commercial solutions.

This is an exciting opportunity for a Qualified Lawyer with knowledge and experience of the DB pensions landscape, the Pensions Act 2004 and, ideally, the PPF, the Financial Assistance Scheme and/or the Fraud Compensation Fund. You may also be involved in advising on some of the other legal areas that are relevant to the PPF, in addition to pensions law, so we are looking for someone who is adaptable. Finally, we expect applicants to perform at a high level when either working independently or as part of a team, and to be able to develop effective internal and external working relationships with stakeholders at all levels of seniority.
