Maritime Law

Maritime activities are characterised by complex contractual arrangements, an international operating environment and an extensive regulatory framework. Sound legal advice is therefore essential to ensuring efficient processes and protecting commercial interests.

We advise shipping companies, maritime businesses, suppliers, insurance companies, banks and other industry participants on maritime law and related areas of law. Our lawyers have experience with matters including carriage and chartering, contract law, the purchase and sale of vessels, ship repair and shipbuilding contracts, casualties, collisions, salvage, insurance, financing and mortgages, as well as liability issues and dispute resolution.

We combine legal expertise with a thorough understanding of the practical and commercial realities of the maritime industry. This enables us to provide advice that is not only legally sound, but also tailored to our clients’ objectives and the environment in which they operate.

We assist our clients with both day-to-day legal matters and more complex issues requiring strategic advice or representation in disputes and legal proceedings.
