Maritime Law in Practice
A significant part of the firm's experience and work relates to admiralty and shipping law, marine insurance and related litigation. We focus on understanding our clients' business and their needs. This is reflected in the technical and maritime experience of our lawyers, whether it be as deckhands and engineers, as in-house counsel to shipping companies, or as manager and operator of an offshore supply ship company. We apply that experience to offer our clients frank, commercially-minded advice.​
