Are you a Senior Associate who is ready to make the move into Partnership? Or perhaps you are already a 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 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:
Partners share the profitability of the business, earning, on average, around £100,000 per annum more than they did at their previous firms. The firm has successfully promoted Senior Associates into partnership where they have demonstrated a client following and ability to operate independently. If you're already generating a strong book of work, this is an environment where that contribution will be recognised.
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, coming into London when it makes sense for their practice and clients. T
The practice focuses on the following markets:
- Offshore energy
- Shipping
- Marine insurance
- Commodities
Who are they looking for?
They are keen to speak to Senior Associates with a strong following who are 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
A different kind of Partnership:
You will have the autonomy to build your practice whilst being part of the growth plans and influencing the firm’s direction. The firm offers a meaningful share in the value created — without the layers, bureaucracy or internal competition. If you're a Senior Associate who is ready for Partnership, or a Partner who suspects there is a better way to structure your next move, this is a conversation that is worth having.
