Pinsent Masons has hired a pensions team from rival Eversheds as the national giant moves to beef up its specialist practice in Leeds. Jacqui Timmins, who headed up Eversheds’ employment and pensions team in Leeds, will join Pinsents later this year as local pensions chief alongside associate Anthea Whitton, who has also been hired as a partner. Timmins’ practice focuses on private sector work and includes clients such as European tech company Vaillant.
