Our clients include many of the world's largest ship owners, shipyards, banks, insurers, P&I clubs, energy services companies and commodities traders.


The size of the team globally and the depth of its experience means we are well positioned to advise on any shipping or trade-related concern, from the most complex marine incident or financing structure to the more straightforward cargo claim or sale and purchase dispute.


Due to continued growth, the practice is seeking talented experienced associates across the areas of dry shipping commodities in particular but experience on admiralty and marine insurance matters would be helpful.
