    Senior Solicitor - Edinburgh, United Kingdom - Brodies

    Default job background
    Description
    Brodies LLP is a UK law firm headquartered in Scotland.

    We combine colleagues' expertise in all business areas, to deliver Enlightened Thinking - new knowledge and new legal possibilities - uniquely suited to our Scottish, UK and international clients.

    Solicitor - Senior Solicitor - Litigation / Insurance & Risk (Shipping and Transport)
    We provide legal advice to a wide range of companies operating in the shipping and transport sector.

    Our clients are P&I Clubs and marine/energy insurers, vessel operators, ports, offshore energy companies (both renewables and oil & gas), agents and fishing businesses.

    We provide support to insurers and commercial clients with commercial and insurance claims and litigation following disputes or incidents, including marine regulatory and health & safety advice mostly connected or related to the marine, energy or transport sectors.

    We also advise clients, including lenders, on the transactional aspects of the industry such as ship sale and purchase and chartering.

    We have an exciting opportunity for a Solicitor/Senior Solicitor to join our team.

    Commitment to, focus in and interest in the shipping and transport sector is important here and the role could be filled by the right candidate at this level.

    This is a specialist area and training will be provided to help develop and grow to fill the role, helping our team and our clients to meet their goals.

    This role is a sectoral one but variety is a key attraction of the role so whilst you will develop specialist skills you will have the opportunity to apply these skills widely working with Brodies leading shipping and transport clients handling commercial and insurance disputes, claims, personal injury defence, marine and port regulatory issues and other issues that arise across the sector.

    We value the clients we work for and the right candidate will need to be a committed team member to support us in helping our clients in our specialist band ranked 1 team.

    Whilst the majority of work will be contentious there will also be opportunities to provide legal support for clients on non-contentious areas and helping them to develop their businesses.

    We are focussed on the clients but to meet their needs in the fast-paced marine environment where time is precious and solutions are needed, quickly, it is key that we get the right candidate.

    The candidate will need to be a team player, pragmatic and commercial with an ability to contribute to the team and, as issues or opportunities arise, contribute ideas to develop and adapt our strategy to help our clients achieve their goals.

    You will be interested, or prepared to develop and interest in, in the shipping and transport sectors and be able to convey that interest to clients as we continue to develop our client service offering.

    This role may involve playing a part in a team responding to and investigating incidents and advising on the regulatory investigations that follow them both on and offshore.

    You will work closely with partners and senior colleagues in a flexible and open team.

    The successful applicant will be encouraged to develop their network of contacts within the industry in Scotland and more widely, and of course, to get to know and be trusted by the team's key clients.

    Brodies offers an in-house training programme, and clearly defined career paths and our ambitious growth plans offer significant opportunities for career advancement.

    Team training will include key industry legislation and practice so that you understand and talk the client's language.

    Provide assistance to partners and other team members dealing with large and complex marine legal issues, offshore and onshore incidents, investigations and claim defence.

    Handle your own case load including investigating and defending litigated personal injury and other claims involving owners, operators and ports.

    Handle a variety of general commercial claims and advice in the marine/offshore sector.
    Advocacy in the Sheriff Court and other forums.

    Be aware of Brodies' information security policies, and protect information assets from unauthorised access, disclosure, modification, destruction or interference at all times.

    Provides client advice that is well presented, commercial and tailored to their needs
    A flexible approach to tasks as balancing competing demands and deadlines will be a constant requirement.
    Experience of personal injury claims, including disease
    Experience of commercial claims and disputes
    Commercial and profit focus, with particular recognition of the dynamics when representing insurers and their insureds
