What the Team is Known For
HCO has a highly thought of shipping practice that works across the full breadth of shipping matters relating to the ownership and use of ships. It has a particular focus on all forms of standard contract. The team has experience in both litigation and arbitration relating to voyage charters, contract forms for defence of cargo claims, and disputes arising from shipbuilding contracts, among others.
Strengths
HCO has the ability to field an experienced team capable of dealing with a variety of issues.
The HCO team has a good and commercial understanding of our business and finds legal solutions to match. They are always available and promptly respond to our enquiries.
There is always an expert available at short notice to advise regardless of time frame. I have been impressed by the team's knowledge of the market and grasp of commercial relationships.
Work Highlights
HCO acted for the ship owners in relation to disputes arising from STS transfers of oil cargo.
