Our Shipping and International Trade Team provides specialist maritime and transport advice for shipowners, charterers, insurers, P&I Clubs and all those whose work arises out of the carriage of goods by sea.
The team has a wealth of experience of representing clients before the English High Court and in international arbitration, including LMAA, LCIA, ICC, GAFTA, FOSFA and CAMP proceedings. The team is multilingual and with its strong links with overseas lawyers, it regularly assists in disputes and arrest proceedings in other jurisdictions around the world.
Many of the team have ex-City shipping backgrounds. Because of our location we can provide a City service at non-London prices.
