We are a well-regarded maritime law firm specialising in the resolution of complex, high-profile, high-value Shipping Casualty incidents and Port & Terminal disputes wherever they may occur in the world.
We have been involved in many of the leading container ship incidents of recent years, including the SOLONG collision with the STENA IMMACULATE in March 2025, the EVER GIVEN, which blocked the Suez Canal in 2021, the DALI which destroyed the bridge in Baltimore and the NORTHERN JUVENILE, MAERSK FRANKFURT and YM MOBILITY fire cases in Asia, all in 2024.
Our work involves the law of Salvage, the application of ancient maritime concepts such as General Average, the interpretation of Bill of Lading and Charterparty contracts alongside international Shipping Conventions, and advice on policy coverage issues.
With offices in London and Liverpool, we serve clients internationally. They are a mix of major marine insurers, broking houses and their insureds, many of whom are household names.
Our task is to protect our clients’ interests at all times, whether by minimising the liabilities which they may face or by taking steps to recover their losses from responsible third parties. Where necessary, we invoke the assistance of foreign lawyers, technical experts, Courts and Arbitrators. Our fee schemes are some of the most innovative in the sector.
