Jameson Legal is interested in talking with marine claims lawyers for an in-house role in London. Our client is looking for a commercially minded Claims Lawyer with significant P&I experience to join their in-house legal team, reporting into the Head of Legal. It is a varied role; you will run a portfolio of high-value and complex claims while also supporting the business on contracts, disputes and day-to-day legal risk. The role will include:

• Handling P&I, marine liability and hull claims, including cargo damage, collision, crew and personal injury matters
• Running FD&D-style disputes such as unpaid hire, demurrage, performance claims and charterparty breaches
• Assessing case merits, setting reserves and negotiating settlements directly with counterparties and insurers
• Giving clear, practical advice to commercial and operational teams on contract wordings and live fixtures
• Working closely with P&I Clubs, external law firms and surveyors
• Feeding lessons from claims into risk management and loss prevention We'd like to hear from lawyers with around 4-6 years' experience in marine insurance claims, ideally gained at a P&I Club or in-house, with a strong grasp of maritime law, P&I rules and charterparties. Confident negotiators who can balance legal risk with commercial objectives will do particularly well here. It is a full-time, permanent position based in London.
