What We Actually Do

Look, maritime law isn't glamorous, but somebody's gotta handle it when multi-million dollar shipments go sideways or contracts fall apart mid-ocean. That's where we come in.

Why Maritime Law Needs Specialists

Here's the thing - you wouldn't hire a family lawyer to handle a billion-dollar shipping dispute. Maritime law is its own beast, mixing international conventions, local regulations, and centuries-old admiralty principles.

We've been doing this long enough to know which jurisdictions favor vessel owners, where to file cargo claims for best results, and how to navigate arbitration in London, New York, or Singapore.

Our team includes former ship captains, marine surveyors, and lawyers who've actually spent time on vessels. That practical knowledge makes a real difference when you're arguing technical maritime issues.
