We are one of the few global legal practices able to provide all the services needed by all sectors of the shipping industry including shipowners, operators and managers, hull, cargo and liability insurers, oil majors and offshore contracting companies. Shipping has been at the core of our 200-year history. We are one of the world’s leading transport practices and have global reach.
As part of the global marine casualty and admiralty group, we operate across Europe, Asia, the United States, Canada, Latin America, Australia, Africa and the Middle East, delivering expert advice on a range of casualties, drawing on the experience of our in-house mariners.
Renowned for our experience in the passenger and cruise ship market, our knowledge of marine crisis management also extends to ferries, containerships, tankers and dry cargo ships, where we have been lead advisers in numerous casualties. In the offshore energy sector, we have long experience of casualties and investigations, as well as disaster management and response. Members of the team have OPITO certificates, allowing them to travel safely to rigs and offshore installations to conduct interviews and investigations.
