Due to continued growth, the practice is seeking talented experienced associates across the areas of dry shipping commodities in particular but experience on admiralty and marine insurance matters would be helpful. You can expect to work with high profile clients, receive continuous development and gain a high degree of involvement in business development as well as significant client exposure.
