Admiralty / Casualty

Clarity when circumstances change.

Overview

Clarity when circumstances change.

A considered approach to maritime incidents, competing interests and the decisions that follow.

A maritime incident can create several urgent conversations at once: the condition of the vessel, the position of cargo interests and the commercial effects of interrupted operations. A clear picture of the circumstances helps bring those conversations together.

Our admiralty and casualty focus considers the incident alongside the relevant contracts, insurance arrangements and relationships between the parties.

Areas of focus

  • Collisions, groundings and vessel damage
  • Cargo interests following a casualty
  • Salvage and wreck-related issues
  • Incident records and commercial documentation
  • Casualty-related claims and disputes

Our approach

Our approach begins with the available facts and the immediate priorities. We seek to distinguish what is known, what requires further investigation and which decisions call for specialist input.
