Job description

On behalf of our client we are seeking an experienced Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive to join its Marine Department in Plymouth. The firm is recognised for delivering high-quality service to clients and fosters a welcoming, supportive, and professional working culture.

The Marine Department is looking for a civil litigator with 3+ years PQE. While previous marine law experience is advantageous, it is not essential; the department is keen to support candidates with a strong interest in developing expertise in this specialist area. The successful candidate will have excellent research, analytical, and communication skills and a passion for the marine sector and client service.

Role and Responsibilities

The role will primarily involve wet shipping matters, including:

  • P&I and Defence work
  • Admiralty matters such as collisions, pollution, and total losses
  • Some non-contentious marine work
  • Additional responsibilities include:
  • Engaging with clients and building strong, long-term relationships
  • Representing the department at industry events, trade shows, and networking opportunities in the UK and abroad
  • Supporting the department’s training and professional development initiatives

Candidate Requirements

The ideal candidate will:

  • Demonstrate a commitment to excellent client care
  • Work effectively under pressure and meet client expectations
  • Enjoy collaborating as part of a motivated and professional team
  • Show enthusiasm for contributing to the growth and development of the Marine Department

Working Environment and Benefits

  • This is a full-time position with some flexibility for remote working – office based in Plymouth, with parking available.
  • Competitive market-rate salary
  • Opportunities for career progression and professional development
  • Supportive work environment with a focus on work-life balance
  • Chance to play a central role in the development of the firm’s marine practice
