The AllAboutLaw Perspective on Sackers
If you want to practise at the heart of the UK’s pensions and retirement-savings industry, Sackers is the name to know. From its City base on Gresham Street, the firm brings together pensions, investment, finance and litigation specialists under one roof, delivering a genuinely full-service offering for trustees, employers, providers and corporate investors. Clients include more of the UK’s top 200 pension schemes than any other law firm, with relationships that often span decades.
Market reputation matches that focus: Sackers is consistently top-tier in the legal directories and continues to pick up industry silverware, including “Best Pensions Law Firm” at the Corporate Adviser Awards 2025 and “Pensions Lawyers of the Year” at the UK Pensions Awards 2025. It’s a clear signal that the firm is a go-to adviser on the most complex, high-value matters shaping the sector.

You’ll find an environment that prizes diverse perspectives, supports work–life balance and engages actively with the wider pensions community through professional bodies and thought leadership.
