Interim Corporate Counsel

Interim Corporate Counsel – Shipping Sector.
2++ PQE.
Our client is a global shipping service provider.
Due to a strong deal flow, they anticipate requiring the assistance of an interim corporate lawyer in the New Year on a project basis.
It is likely that the successful interim lawyer will have strong experience in handling a full range of corporate mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, and the necessary ancillary documents.
Broader commercial and dry shipping experience would also be useful.
Candidates are likely to be qualified lawyers in England & Wales and possess upwards of 2 years' PQE.
Prior experience within the maritime/shipping sector would be ideal.
Language skills would also be highly beneficial (French, German, Spanish, and/or Italian, for example) but are not a prerequisite.
The successful lawyer will likely be based in the UK, be accustomed to working on international matters, and can expect to be engaged on an hourly or daily rate basis, depending on the project specifics.
The successful interim counsel will work closely with the Group Legal Counsel.
Whilst projects are likely to start in the New Year, the end client is interested in reviewing profiles sooner rather than later.
