We deliver pragmatic, commercial and cost-effective advice tailored to the individual needs of our clients. We are consistently recognised in the major guides to the legal profession as being among the best in the industry and have the breadth of expertise to deal with any issue.

We have a unique ability to deal with disputes arising at any stage of the transport and trading chain, whether goods are carried by sea, road, rail or air, in transit or warehoused. We advise on questions relating to insurance and marine finance as well as the full range of shipping transactions and commercial contracts. Our yachting practice extends from supporting the leisure marine industry and insurers to acting on the sale, purchase and charter of some of the largest superyachts afloat.
