Senior Shipping Solicitor - Singapore

Senior Shipping Solicitor - Singapore - $160k - $225k SGD

I am partnering with an international law firm who are hiring a Senior Associate (5+ PQE) to join its expanding Marine team in Singapore.

The role offers the opportunity to work within a globally recognised law firm, handling high-value and complex matters for major insurers, P&I clubs, brokers, shipowners, charterers, logistics companies, and other stakeholders in the global marine sector.

The work spans both contentious and advisory areas, including coverage disputes, subrogated recoveries, liability claims, and cross-border matters.

Key responsibilities include managing a varied caseload across marine insurance lines such as hull and machinery, cargo, P&I, and freight liability, as well as advising on complex policy coverage issues.

The role involves acting in High Court litigation, LMAA and other arbitrations, and international disputes.

It also requires strong drafting skills for pleadings, opinions, policy wordings, and settlement agreements, while supporting partners on strategic, high-value cases and maintaining strong client relationships.

The ideal candidate will have 5+ years PQE within maritime law, and “dry shipping” dispute work will be highly advantageous.

Since a lot of the matters will be English law, the firm are very interested in applicants that have worked in this jurisdiction.

The role is based Singapore, but applicants that have direct experience of working on matters within the London marine market are encouraged to apply and the firm will support with sponsorship and relocation for a successful applicant currently based outside of Singapore.

To apply for this role or for more information please call Neil on +44 (0) 2392 314 686 or email neil@navis-consulting.com
