Job Description

Shipping Litigation Lawyer – 4+ PQE – Leading Boutique Practice – Partner track

A highly respected boutique practice with a strong reputation in the maritime sector is seeking a talented Shipping Litigation Lawyer (4+ PQE) to join its specialist team in London. This is an excellent opportunity for a lawyer looking to step into a role offering high-quality contentious work, close client contact, and the chance to develop within a focused, partner-led environment.

The firm advises on a broad range of primarily dry complex maritime disputes, including charterparty issues, cargo claims, vessel arrests, collisions, groundings and other wet and dry shipping matters. You will work directly with seasoned partners on technically challenging cases, often involving international elements and high-value commercial interests.

The successful candidate will have a strong academic background and a solid grounding in shipping litigation gained at a recognised shipping practice, and be comfortable managing matters with appropriate autonomy. Strong drafting skills, commercial awareness, and the ability to build trusted client relationships are key.

The team is partner-led, and the successful candidate will be the most senior non-partner. There is a very realistic prospect of partnership for the right person within 3-4 years. This is a superb opportunity for a driven and confident lawyer seeking progression prospects within a team known for its high standards and collegiate culture.

To find out more about this role and others we are handling, please get in touch in complete confidence. Either send your CV to david.vondadelszen@jamesonlegal.com or call David on +447860774391 for a confidential discussion.
