Stephenson Harwood has recently launched a new, international Maritime, Trade and Offshore (MTO) practice group to combine its ship finance, shipping, and trade and commodities expertise. The group offers a breadth of services to clients active in the shipping, offshore, commodity and finance sectors that few other firms can match. Our practice is international in nature and serviced by specialist lawyers operating out of our London, Athens, Dubai, Greater China, Seoul, and Singapore offices.
This opportunity is for an associate role in the Maritime & Offshore practice area, which focuses on disputes in the shipping and offshore sector. The team frequently acts in high profile cases involving complex legal and commercial problems in arbitration and Court proceedings. We often have to advise on cross-border and jurisdictional disputes which has resulted in a considerable pool of experience relating to the majority of important maritime jurisdictions. Our clients include many of the world's largest ship owners, shipyards, insurers, P&I clubs, energy services companies, commodities traders and banks.
The size of the team both in London and globally and the depth of its experience means we are well positioned to advise on any shipping or trade-related concern, from the most complex marine incident or financing structure to the more straightforward cargo claim or sale and purchase dispute.
