Law firms ranked by client reviews
Maritime liens are claims attached to a vessel that survive ownership transfers and must be settled before the ship can sail freely. They cover interests such as seafarers’ wages, salvage and necessaries, and certain maritime loans, with remedies including arrest of the vessel and priority over other creditors. A solicitor handling this area drafts or responds to pleadings, coordinates evidence of the lien, negotiates with owners or insurers, and appears in Admiralty or High Court proceedings on behalf of the claimant.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
A maritime lien attaches to the vessel for specified unpaid amounts, including crew wages, salvage, necessaries, and certain loans. The solicitor guides the client through the arrest process, negotiates with owners or carriers, gathers voyage and contract records, and coordinates with insurers and surveyors. They prepare and support litigation to enforce the lien in courts with maritime jurisdiction, ensuring priority over competing claims and handling related enforcement steps.
