Are you looking for a genuine opportunity to build your practice, share in the value you create, and work on your terms? Or are you a Senior Associate that is ready to make the move into Partnership — with a strong following and the ambition to build something of your own? Or perhaps you are already a Junior Partner but feel that your current firm takes too much of the value you generate, offers limited autonomy, or simply isn’t as collegiate as you would like?
We are working with a highly successful firm that has an established reputation across offshore energy, shipping, marine insurance and commodities.
Why this opportunity?
Keep more of the value you create:
The remuneration structure means Partners receive a share in the profitability of the business, with existing partners earning, on average, around £100,000 more per year than they did at their previous firms.
Enjoy genuine autonomy without sacrificing teamwork:
This is not a "eat what you kill" environment. The partners place real emphasis on sharing ideas, supporting one another, cross-referring work and working collaboratively. There is mutual respect and trust within the team, with a strong belief that the best results come from people working together rather than competing internally.
Work flexibly:
There are no rigid hybrid-working rules. The firm has a London office and is very comfortable with remote working, with Partners coming into London when it makes sense for their practice and clients.
The practice focuses on the following markets:
- Offshore energy
- Shipping
- Marine insurance
- Commodities
Who are they looking for?
Keen to speak to Senior Associates with a strong following who is ready for Partnership, or an established Partner who wants greater recognition and reward for the business they generate. The key requirement is not a particular title — it is the right mindset.
You will need to be:
- Commercially minded with an established or developing client following
- Comfortable operating independently with the support of associates and paralegals
- Collaborative and genuinely collegiate
- Someone who enjoys sharing ideas and supporting colleagues
- Experience in either offshore energy, shipping, marine insurance or commodities
A different kind of Partnership:
You will have autonomy and the opportunity to be part of the growth plans and influence the firm’s direction, and a meaningful share in the value created. If you're a Senior Associate is ready for Partnership, or Partner who suspects there is a better way to structure your next move, this conversation is worth having.
