Defence Lawyer

Defence lawyer - Oslo

We are seeking applicants for a position with Gard’s Defence team to be based in our office in Oslo, Norway.

The successful candidate will work primarily (but not exclusively) with our Defence Members in Norway and Germany. The role involves giving both considered and on-the-spot legal advice to existing Members, balancing a busy case load, and managing external lawyers involved in complex litigation and claims. You will work in cooperation with highly engaged and knowledgeable colleagues based in Oslo, Arendal and many of Gard’s other offices including London, New York, Singapore, Piraeus, Tokyo and Hong Kong. Managing Member and broker relationships will be crucial, as will the ability to pro-actively manage cases, work in a team and provide value added services to the Membership such as training and presentations.

Candidates should be experienced English qualified dry shipping lawyers with a minimum 4-6 years PQE at a recognised law firm, another IG P&I Club or relevant experience as in-house Counsel. Candidates should be capable of working with a high degree of autonomy. In addition to handling FD&D disputes for Members, the successful candidate will also be expected to provide legal assistance to colleagues working in other claims areas across Gard. Some experience in relation to P&I cover and the types of disputes that arise will therefore be a positive attribute.
