The Role: Associate - Pensions (2-4PQE)
The Department: Pensions
(Although Pensions is part of the wider Employment and Benefits Group, the role is for a pensions lawyer.)
The Team:
Mayer Brown's Pensions group has lawyers in key business centers across Europe and Asia, offering sophisticated solutions to the most complex issues facing our pensions clients.
Our UK pensions team is 15 strong with 5 partners. We act for pension schemes of all sizes including some of the largest ones. We also act for employers. Our pensions work covers many sectors and types of schemes. Examples of our work includes advising on scheme funding matters, benefits design changes, scheme mergers, corporate activity and transactions. Investment, de-risking, disputes and the whole myriad of pensions issues. Whilst we provide support to our Corporate colleagues on transactions, corporate support is a relatively small part of our practice, comprising about 10% of our work.
Our market leading finance, corporate, insurance, and litigation practices work very closely in providing a joined up and holistic service to our trustee and employer clients.
Many of our clients are household names covering the retail, finance and electricity/energy sectors.
Our pensions partners encourage our team, whatever level, to be involved in business development activities and we ensure our junior lawyers get face to face client interaction so they gain experience as early as possible. We are a collegiate and inclusive team.

The Department: Corporate
Corporate and Securities law is at the core of Mayer Brown’s practice in every one of its offices worldwide. With a globally integrated team of more than 300 lawyers across four continents, we have extensive experience advising on a variety of complex, cross-border and high-profile, strategic transactions.
We represent a broad spectrum of public and private companies, banks, private equity and leveraged buy-out firms, special committees and management groups around the world—including many Fortune 100, FTSE 100, CAC 40, HKE and DAX-listed companies.
In the Private Equity team (within the Corporate & Securities group) we pride ourselves on forging long-term relationships with private equity sponsors that begins with fund formation and continues throughout their investment activities and exit strategies. In Europe, we have Private Equity practices in London, Paris and Frankfurt. We make the effort to understand our private equity clients’ businesses and investment objectives, and include lawyers with industry-specific experience on our deal teams, so that we can tailor pragmatic and innovative solutions to complex problems.
Our clients include every sponsor type including buyout funds, infrastructure funds, pledge funds, venture capital funds, captive funds, funds of funds, secondary funds and debt and mezzanine funds. Our private equity team draws upon our industry expertise to assist clients, including infrastructure, automotive, technology, life sciences, health care, food and beverage, chemicals, consumer products, energy, real estate, franchising, communications, insurance, manufacturing, distribution, telecommunications and business and financial services.

We also advise on related structural, tax, warranty insurance and all ancillary legal issues as we are a "full service" law firm with little need to outsource instructions.
The London Private Equity team has a deep and year on year growing roster of European sponsor clients which requires additional resource to service and to assist with future continued growth and expansion.

Hours: 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. with flexibility in accordance with the needs of the business.
The Team and Purpose of the Role:
Our Third-Party Intermediary (“TPI”) program is an important initiative of the Firm which focuses on building relationships with our intermediaries such as foreign law firms where we don’t have offices and global advisors such as accountants, e-discovery vendors, valuation firms, and financial advisers.
Through our TPI program, we have put in place a framework and are being very thoughtful on how to maximise our intermediary relationships in a way that is mutually beneficial in servicing our clients better. We are carefully tracking TPI relationships and referrals to and from third-parties that can be sources of referrals or intermediaries with our clients. We think there is a great deal of untapped potential and further opportunities for us to collaborate with some of the largest professional services firms.
This Marketing & Business Development Assistant (Apprentice) role will be primarily responsible for supporting the TPI Business Development Manager on maintaining and developing the TPI program and be based in our London office.
We are looking for someone who is a self-starter and focused on developing their career. There is an expectation that, over time, there will be a progression in this role that will see the individual leading BD activities on key TPI initiatives. There will be a combination of structured training, hands on learning and mentoring that will be provided to enable this progression.
