Shipbuilding law covers contracts, procurement, and disputes arising from designing, constructing and fitting vessels, as well as related repair and conversion work. A solicitor in this area drafts and negotiates shipbuilding contracts, sub-contracts, and supply agreements; reviews drawings, warranties, and performance guarantees; handles risk allocation, payment schedules, and termination rights; and represents clients in negotiations, adjudications, or court proceedings if disputes arise with yards, suppliers, insurers, or financiers.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The work routinely involves construction contracts, performance milestones, lien and security interests, risk allocation, and amendments to yard programs. It also includes handling payments, delay and defects claims, material supply issues, and cross-border procurement where letters of credit or parent company guarantees are involved.
