Job description

P&I Claims Handler – London

Ready to make your mark in specialist marine claims?

An exciting opportunity to join a highly specialised P&I claims team in London, handling complex maritime claims across P&I, pollution, cargo, crew injury, collisions and casualty claims.

You’ll work with major international shipping companies across container, bulk liquid and inland marine vessels, with a particular emphasis on cargo claims and dispute resolution.

There’s also the chance to build genuine niche expertise in inland marine claims — from European rivers and coastal waters to the Mediterranean and Baltic, including challenging canal strikes and major casualties.

You’ll have the support from colleagues in the team who have a lot of experience to share. You’ll liaise directly with surveyors and external lawyers, gaining hands‑on exposure whilst manging claims from instruction to settlement.

Why this role?

• Specialist P&I and maritime claims environment
• Complex, high-value and international work
• Strong litigation & dispute resolution focus
• Exceptional opportunity to develop inland marine expertise
• Structured support and progression into your own caseload

This is a great opportunity if you have 3-6 years claims experience gained at a P&I Club, law firm, shipowner or broker that is looking for a role where you can develop genuine specialist expertise in the maritime sector and progress up the ranks.
