Job Description

Norton Rose Fulbright is a global law firm with a deep commitment to our clients, their businesses and industries and our people. We are a trusted advisor to global and local organizations the world over, offering a broad range of legal services across key industries, including financial institutions; energy, infrastructure and resources; technology; transport; life sciences and healthcare; and consumer markets.

With 7,000 people across 50 offices in the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe, Canada, Latin America, Asia, Australia, Africa and the Middle East, we work as one team to solve issues wherever they arise, no matter how complex they are.

The Team

Our global Shipping practice provides the full range of legal services required by sophisticated shipping businesses. The team advises banks, financial institutions, lessors, private equity investors, shipowners and operators on international shipping finance, corporate shipping transactions and the acquisition, disposal, construction and operation of vessels. The role will sit within a collaborative team handling matters across our international network, with particular exposure to the Greek and wider European shipping markets.

The Role

You will manage substantial workstreams on bilateral and syndicated loan financings, refinancings and restructurings, sale and leasebacks, vessel sale and purchase transactions, joint ventures and shipbuilding contracts. Working directly with partners and clients, you will lead drafting and transaction management, supervise junior colleagues and help deliver practical, commercially focused advice.

Key Responsibilities

  • Draft and negotiate facility agreements, security packages, intercreditor arrangements, guarantees and related finance documents.
  • Run key workstreams on vessel sale and purchase, sale and leaseback, shipbuilding, joint venture and corporate transactions.
  • Manage due diligence, conditions precedent, signing, closing and post-completion processes across multiple jurisdictions.
  • Develop trusted day-to-day relationships with banks, lessors, funds, shipowners, operators, local counsel and other advisers.
  • Supervise junior lawyers and trainees, providing clear delegation, feedback and technical support.
  • Support pitches, client training, know-how and business development initiatives within the Shipping practice.

Key Skills and Experience

  • Qualified lawyer with approximately 4-6 years of relevant post-qualification experience; equivalent experience will be considered.
  • Strong experience in shipping finance, asset finance, banking or related transactional work.
  • Confident drafting and negotiation skills, with experience taking ownership of substantial transaction documents.
  • Proven ability to manage complex matters, transaction timetables and cross-border stakeholder groups.
  • Sound commercial judgement and the ability to translate technical issues into clear, practical advice.
  • Excellent written and spoken English; Greek language capability would be advantageous for an Athens-based role.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
