A lateral partner hire of this kind turns on what actually moves with you, more than on any single number.

Senior partner hire to lead and grow a Transportation & Maritime practice in the London office of a major international law firm. The role will focus on advising commercial shipping, logistics and maritime clients on transactional, regulatory and contentious matters, and on developing cross‑border workstreams with other offices.

The successful candidate will join an established team and be responsible for business development, client relationship management and mentoring senior associates. This is a visible role for a rainmaker who can expand an existing book and build market presence in the UK and internationally.

Portable book of business of $2M+ (USD)
Proven partner-level experience in transportation/maritime law (transactional and/or contentious)
Established client relationships and demonstrable origination record
Ability to lead teams, develop business and work collaboratively across international offices
Eligible to practise in England & Wales (or able to obtain eligibility)

If the brief does not read like an exact match, it is still worth a conversation — these mandates flex around the right practice.
