NALSAR seeks three maritime law consultants for Mumbai posting
NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad, has invited online applications for three contractual posts of Legal Consultant (Maritime Law) in collaboration with the Directorate General of Shipping, Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, Government of India. The position will be based at the Directorate General of Shipping headquarters in Mumbai.
Candidates must be below 35 years of age and hold an LL.M in Maritime Law, Insurance Law, Maritime Security Law, or International Law, preferably with one to two years of experience. Fluency in English is required. The consolidated monthly remuneration is Rs 60,000, and the initial tenure is one year, extendable based on performance.

Indian Opinion Analysis
This hire targets a niche gap: India lacks enough lawyers trained in both maritime law and international conventions to handle shipping disputes, insurance claims, and port regulations. NALSAR and the Directorate General of Shipping will have three consultants, a small team for a vast coastline. The one-year contract with possible extension means the post is a pilot: if it works, the model could scale. The key figure to watch is the application deadline of 18 October.
