We have advised on numerous high-profile maritime casualty cases, including the Selendang Ayu and Superferry 14 claim. Claims handled include collisions, groundings, salvage, main-engine breakdown, fire/explosion, wreck removal, towage, stranding, structural failure, limitation of liability, and investigations by regulatory authorities, as well as general average, loss of life, and personal injury.

 

Our lawyers are highly-regarded throughout the industry and have been praised by leading legal directories such as the Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners for their "depth and expertise" and "formidable reputation for (shipping) litigation".

 

We are specialists in casualty investigations and evidence gathering for use in proceedings both in the UK and internationally.

 

In addition, our team advises on claims involving high-profile oil pollution incidents.  We have also been involved through the British Maritime Law Association Pollution Committee in considering the implications of the Convention on the Carriage of Hazardous and Noxious Substances.
