We advise on the full range of shipping contracts including bareboat, time and voyage charterparties, contracts of affreightment, bills of lading, slot charters, newbuilding contracts, port and terminal contracts and sale and purchase.

As well as being able to advise and handle the full range of disputes that can occur when operating under such contracts, we regularly draft everything from bespoke clauses dealing with a particular situation that has arisen to entire commercial contracts.

By working closely with our clients’ commercial and operations departments we have a unique approach to dispute resolution, often giving the edge to a client’s case, by understanding the commercial reality of the situation and the client’s needs, be that a final judgment to provide certainty for future operations or a commercial settlement.
