This highly successful upper mid-market firm, headquartered in London and widely recognised for its strength in the corporate, technology and energy sectors, is seeking to appoint either an established partner or a first‑step partner to lead and grow its pensions capability. The firm acts for numerous global household‑name clients, and its London office operates as a full‑service practice, consistently topping the rankings in its core areas.
The national pension practice currently has a strong advisory focus, and the firm is keen to build on this foundation within its London office. With an expected following of around £750k+, this role represents an exciting and genuinely rare opportunity for a partner to shape and expand a practice within a firm known for its innovation, forward‑thinking approach and deep commitment to DE&I. The successful candidate will benefit from a significant flow of internal referrals, strong cross‑disciplinary support and the ability to generate work from the firm’s extensive client base, creating a compelling platform for long‑term growth and impact.
