We take pride in what we do.
Shipping & Admiralty
No squares, we are all-rounders in shipping. We are equally at home arguing a contentious shipping dispute or representing our clients in a transaction or closing. We handle all areas of shipping work including:
- Cargo claims
- Charterparty and bills of lading disputes
- Collisions, casualties and salvage
- Enforcements and arrest
- Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Installation and Commissioning Contracts
- Marine Insurance
- Shipbuilding, conversion and repair contracts
- Ship finance, ship sale and purchase
- Sale and purchase of goods carried by air, sea or land
Commercial & Corporate
Our corporate and commercial advisory work is an extension of our maritime practice and includes:
- Commodity sale and purchase contracts
- Contractual disputes
- Cross-border commercial disputes
- Employment issues
- Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Installation and Commissioning Contracts
- Joint venture, partnership and shareholders agreements
- Review of contracts, risk and liability assessment
Arbitration & Litigation
We recognise that conflict is sometimes inevitable and chances are our client is in the right.
We are seasoned litigators, regularly appearing as counsel or as instructing solicitor in court, representing clients in both shipping and non-shipping cases. We also assist clients to arrest ships for security or as enforcement of their maritime claims.
Mediation
Equally, not every conflict needs to end in war. We provide a holistic resolution to your disputes and your interests always comes first. Where appropriate, we will recommend that clients negotiate and mediate their disputes as opposed to proceeding with litigation.
