Full job descriptionShipping Litigation Solicitor | Dry Shipping & Admiralty | Tyneside
2–5 PQE | International Trade | Complex Disputes | Hybrid Working
Looking to develop your contentious practice in a specialist area of international law, working on complex disputes with a genuinely international dimension?
QED Legal’s client is a growing specialist practice looking to add a Shipping Litigation Solicitor to its team. The firm is building a steady caseload and is keen to bring in an ambitious litigator who can contribute to its continued growth.
Shipping litigation experience would be ideal, particularly across dry shipping, charterparties, bills of lading, contracts of affreightment and vessel-sharing arrangements. The wider work also covers admiralty and casualty matters, including collisions, groundings, salvage, pollution and wreck removal, alongside international trade disputes, sanctions issues and multi-jurisdictional claims.
Disputes may involve proceedings in the High Court or international arbitration, including LMAA, LCIA, ICC, UNCITRAL, GAFTA and FOSFA matters.
The firm would also consider a strong commercial litigator with a solid contentious background, good academics and the ability to develop into shipping work. Experience gained within a recognised disputes team. Wet shipping experience is also welcome and could complement the firm’s existing offering.
You’ll be joining a small, specialist team at an important stage of its development, with direct exposure to complex work and the chance to play a meaningful part in its growth. The role offers hybrid working, with an element of office attendance and travel expected.
Ideally, you’ll have 2–5 years’ PQE, a strong academic record (typically a 2:1 or above from a good university) and the confidence to handle contentious matters to a high standard. Around five years’ PQE would be particularly attractive, but the quality and relevance of your experience matter more than the exact number.
If you’re a shipping litigator looking for your next move, or a strong commercial disputes solicitor interested in developing a practice in this area, this is worth a conversation.
