Legal Counsel for Pension Taxation

Would you like to work with law where legislation meets practical control and case processing? And would you like to help ensure high legal quality and good progress in a complex and societally important area? Then you might be our new colleague in the pensions area in Fredericia.

Welcome to the pensions area

In the pensions area we work with taxation of pension arrangements under the Pension Taxation Act (PAL) and the Pension Tax Act (PBL). We check pension institutions' submissions and PAL tax, handle cases on pension taxation and advise citizens, companies and the pension industry. We are several units with different professional profiles, including lawyers, economists, actuaries and experienced tax case handlers. What we have in common is that we enjoy complex problems and solving an important task together.

Many of our cases raise legal questions, and we want to strengthen the legal competence close to the task execution. Therefore we are seeking a lawyer who will work very close to practice.

We are based in Port House in Fredericia, where we operate in newly built premises with a good canteen, ample parking and a beautiful view of the Little Belt. Here we meet across units for professional discussions and social events organized by the staff association.

Law close to practice

You will be employed in the Data Privacy Unit 12, but your role covers the entire pensions area. You will start by learning the core task through the control work. As you become familiar with the area, you will take on more legal tasks across units.

Your tasks will include, among others

• participate in inspections including control visits at pension and financial institutions, and provide legal case presentation and decisions in the PAL and PBL areas
• quality assure cases and decisions
• provide legal sparring to colleagues across the pensions area and contribute to answers, guidance and legal clarifications, including in the PAL guidance function
• discuss legal issues with pension institutions and industry associations
• contribute, over time, to the development of legislation through public hearings and proposals for better guidance and rule simplification.

Legal sharpness and solution orientation

We envision that you hold a Master of Laws (cand.jur.) or another equivalent legal education, preferably with a couple of years of experience. Experience with tax law, administrative law or pension area is an advantage. Recent graduates can also be considered.

We emphasize that you

• have a solid legal method and thrive with complex problems
• are solution-oriented and ensure progress: You see opportunities within the framework, prioritize the essential and help bring the cases to a safe conclusion
• write clearly and precisely in decisions, notes and guidance
• are comfortable communicating and arguing for legal positions, also to the management level in the sector
• collaborate well with colleagues with different professional backgrounds.
