Our client, a top-tier global law firm with a market-leading marine team, is looking for a talented Senior Associate/Legal Director to join their Cargo group. You'll work on a genuinely broad caseload for insurers, carriers, freight forwarders, logistics providers and warehouse operators across international supply chains.
The work:
- Cargo recovery and transportation liability claims
- Hull, freight, demurrage and hire disputes
- Salvage security and general average matters
- Road transit recovery claims and related liability disputes
- Matters spanning sea, road, rail and air carriage, plus warehousing and storage
Why it's worth a conversation:
- Rare breadth – most cargo/marine seats specialise in one mode of transport; this covers the full logistics chain
- Strong international referral network and genuinely cross-border, high-value work
- Real autonomy running your own matters from inception to resolution
- Clear route to develop your own practice, with supervision/mentoring responsibilities and BD involvement built in
What we're looking for:
- England & Wales qualified solicitor with strong PQE in marine, shipping, transport or insurance litigation
- Solid cargo/transportation liability recovery experience; cross-border exposure a strong plus
- Freight, demurrage and hire dispute knowledge advantageous but not essential
- Commercially minded, comfortable running matters independently, keen to build client relationships
