Insurance Lawyer (Cargo Claims)

Senior Associate/Legal Director – Cargo & Marine Recovery | London

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
