Maritime law covers disputes and transactions connected with ships, shipping, and the sea. It includes carriage of goods by sea, bills of lading, charterparties, collision and salvage, marine insurance, and the registration and title of ships. A solicitor in this area helps clients draft and review ship sale and purchase contracts, charterparties, and freight terms; handle claims for breach of contract, cargo loss, or freight disputes; pursue or defend arrests in rem or injunctions; and advise on insurance disputes and maritime liens in courts such as the Admiralty or High Court.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

This work involves complex contracts, international conventions, and procedural steps in disputes over bills of lading, charterparties, and marine insurance. The solicitor handles the drafting of complex terms, negotiates with insurers and carriers, reviews chartering arrangements, and coordinates evidence such as voyage data and survey reports to build a case. The role centres on understanding ship finance, cargo rights, and the interaction of international and domestic law.
