Shipping & International Trade Partners – London

We are working closely with an international UK firm that is keen to make a number of strategic senior hires into its highly rated global Shipping & Trade Group.

Acting across the full range of matters, both contentious and non-contentious, our client is recognised as offering a comprehensive range of wet and dry shipping and trade and commodity services for clients across the maritime sector. The team also acts on ship finance, corporate and transactional work involving the sale and purchase of ships, barges and yachts, and insurance and commercial contract drafting.

Clients include marine cargo, hull, liability and war risks insurers, P&I Clubs, FD& D insurers/Defence Clubs, shipowners and operators, NVOCCs, time, voyage and slot charterers, shippers and receivers, salvage contractors, financiers, banks and mortgagees, commodity traders, freight forwarders, logistics providers, marine professional services providers, ports and terminals, stevedores, shipyards and warehouse operators.

Interest is therefore sought from established Partners with solid client relationships that are confident in being able to generate instructions and who are potentially looking to further develop their practice from what is a very collegiate and supportive platform. Senior disputes lawyers with considerable arbitration expertise are of particular interest, while those with a strong corporate book will find our client able to offer considerable assistance going forward, working closely with colleagues across their international network in leveraging new and established clients.
