We provide advice in seven core areas to leading international corporations and various commercial entities: aviation, business & finance, commercial disputes, energy & offshore, insurance & reinsurance, international trade and shipping.

In our shipping dispute resolution practice, we employ a number of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods including dialogue, structured negotiation and mediation to resolve disputes practically, efficiently and cost-effectively.

We have built a formidable reputation in handling shipping disputes. Clients have retained us in many of the landmark legal cases relating to the interpretation of charterparty and bill of lading terms, pool agreements, contracts of affreightment and other shipping documents.

We deal with matters arising anywhere in the world, and we have an international emergency response team available 24 hours a day to respond to all manner of disasters with particular emphasis on shipping, aviation, energy and pollution.

We are a founding member of the Centre for Dispute Resolution (CEDR), ADR Net and the Maritime Solicitors Mediation Services (MSMS), which focuses on disputes within the shipping and marine industries.
