Join a leading international law firm’s Employment, Pensions & Remuneration practice as a Legal Adviser with an academic profile. This part-time role is designed for candidates who combine legal practice with scholarly activity — for example, those writing or holding a PhD or engaged in postdoctoral research or teaching.

You'll act as the practice group's content and know‑how anchor: monitoring and interpreting developments in employment, pensions and remuneration law from a scholarly perspective, producing client- and colleague-facing updates, and translating academic insight into practical guidance and tools for fee-earners and clients.

The role is offered on a flexible, part-time basis (three days per week) to accommodate ongoing academic or teaching commitments and involves close collaboration with the broader Legal Operations and practice teams.

PhD in employment, pensions, social security law or closely related field, or actively writing/holding a PhD / engaged in postdoctoral research or academic teaching
At least 2 years of relevant professional legal experience
Established reputation or clear trajectory as a specialist in employment, pensions and/or remuneration
Excellent analytical and writing skills with the ability to translate academic material into practical legal advice
Strong communicator and team player; proactive and intellectually curious
