Solicitor/Chartered Legal Executive 3 – 5 years PQE

at  Lester Aldridge

JOB TYPE: PERMANENT, FULL-TIME

Lester Aldridge have an exciting opportunity for an experienced lawyer with 3 to 5 years PQE to join our busy Marine team in the Southampton office. You will have the opportunity to work with a diverse range of clients in the Leisure Marine and Commercial Shipping sectors. The ideal lawyer should have a particular focus on Yachts and Superyachts but other related experience will be considered.
In this role, you will be responsible for handling various matters related to yachts/superyachts, and commercial shipping and related matters. Additionally, you will work with a diverse client base, including marine insurers, vessel owners, operators, dealers and managers, shipyards and ports, harbours and marinas. This is a dynamic, client-facing role which includes travel opportunities and a chance for the right candidate to really carve a niche for themselves within this exciting industry as part of a growing team.
You will either have gained litigation and/or transactional experience in this area, or have more general legal experience but hold a strong interest of the marine industry, with a proven track record, and will have excellent technical knowledge, communication, organisational and IT skills.
At LA, our client service is the priority across the firm and we are constantly looking for ways to add value to the services we offer. We aim to mirror this in our work ethic where we try to achieve a balance reflecting quality of life and quality of work, whilst meeting the varying needs of our clients.
If you are looking to develop your career working with a first class client base or looking for a change of setting to enhance what you can offer your clients, then contact us for a confidential discussion.
Our reputation rests on the expertise of our people who are first class in every respect and if, like us, you are committed to putting clients and colleagues first, we would like to hear from you. In return, we offer a competitive package, including pension scheme, private medical insurance, life assurance, 25 days holidays plus an extra day off at Christmas and your birthday, access to perkbox (an online discounts platform, which includes discounted cinema tickets, free points each month) and lots more.
Given regulatory and contractual requirements which apply to the work undertaken by LA, successful candidates for this role will be subject to screening which may include DBS and / or adverse financial checks. LA reserve the right to withdraw any offer made if the results of these checks are unsatisfactory.
Lester Aldridge is committed to being an equal opportunities employer.
