Shipping and Maritime Law

Corporate and commercial law

Achieving successful commercial objectives involves collaborating with lawyers who understand your business, your commercial environment and your expectations for the future. Your lawyer should act as your business partner, offering advice to help you make better business decisions.

This requires people who can explain complex situations in plain English, provide dependable and accurate information, anticipate and manage risks, and develop solutions to get you a profitable outcome.

Shipping and maritime law covers a broad range of disciplines including fisheries, shipping, incidents and commercial matters. The maritime industry is governed with severe laws which aim to make an example of offenders.
