Thor Maalouf

Thor Maalouf advises clients across the full spectrum of commercial shipping and maritime law, plus multi-modal transport and logistics, and aviation. Thor also advises in relation to specific issues such as reorganizations of freight services provision, electronic bills of lading, exploration of the seabed, and oil pollution incidents where the civil liability convention applies. Her advice helps clients to reach pragmatic and commercial solutions to disputes, but she also has in-depth experience of mediation, litigation in the English courts, and LMAA arbitration.
