This work covers disputes arising from shipbuilding contracts, including vessel construction, subcontracting, performance, quality, delay, and payment terms. A solicitor practises by drafting and reviewing shipbuilding contracts, specifications, and payment schedules; negotiating amendments; and handling liens, guarantees, and insurances. They act for shipyards, owners, insurers and suppliers, and pursue or defend claims for defects, cost overruns, or breach, in arbitration or court proceedings in England and Wales. They also advise on termination and security for payment as a contract dispute evolves.
