Description

Our Commodities & Shipping Group (CSG) disputes team are specialists in all aspects of international trade, commodities and shipping disputes. We're a truly global practice, seeking an experienced associate to join our team in London.

Our Firm

Squire Patton Boggs is one of the world's strongest integrated law firms, committed to providing insight at the point where law, business and government meet. We deliver commercially focused business solutions by combining our legal, lobbying and political capabilities and invaluable connections on the ground to a diverse mix of clients, from long-established leading corporations to emerging businesses, start-up visionaries and sovereign nations.

More than 1,500 lawyers in 45 offices across 20 countries on five continents provide unrivalled access to expertise. In the UK, we have offices in Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds and London.

The firm is committed to promoting a collaborative and supportive working environment. Embedded by local champions in each of our UK offices, our well-regarded family and carer, wellbeing and workplace culture and development programmes provide a variety of flexible working options to support individuals' life journeys, helping our people pursue their personal and professional goals.

Our Team

You will be working on contentious matters as part of a highly respected international team which we believe really stands out from the rest of the market, with an established footprint in London, Singapore, Australia, the Middle East, Italy, Switzerland, and the United States.

We specialise in international commodity trading and shipping, and international commercial arbitration and litigation. The team in London is a dynamic, growing team of specialists. With a string of recent successes and promotions, we are seeking a team member to join and work with us to continue to grow the practice.

Our Opportunity

You will have the opportunity to get involved in a varied workload with plenty of scope for direct client contact. The role will suit an intellectually curious lawyer with a commercial attitude, and a confident, proactive approach. You would be joining a close-knit team who place a strong emphasis on personal skills development and growth.

You

You will be a qualified solicitor under the laws of England and Wales (between 3 and 5 years' PQE), with experience of working on commodities and shipping contentious matters. Experience in litigation and arbitration matters outside of these areas is also valued, but should be in combination with a background in commodities and shipping.

You will need outstanding academic credentials, effective matter management, and excellent drafting skills. We're looking for an ambitious, self-motivated individual with both the desire and the ability to deliver high-quality work for our clients. Additional language skills would be a real plus in this role.
