Law firms ranked by client reviews
Shipping disputes cover the resolution of claims arising from the ownership, operation and liability attached to vessels, cargo, freight and collisions. In England, a solicitor practising in Shipping Litigation handles claims in the High Court or County Court, advises on charterparty and bill of lading disputes, and pursues or defends actions for cargo loss, demurrage, collision and arrest of ships. The work also involves enforcement of ship mortgages, marine liens and insurance issues, and coordinating responses to sea-going injuries or wreck claims.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
These matters hinge on the contract terms, international conventions and marine insurance, with procedural intricacies in pleadings, discovery and expert evidence. A solicitor drives strategy, drafts pleadings and interlocutory applications, and coordinates with adjusters, surveyors, and barristers to build a case from inception to resolution. The role requires navigation of potential arrest and release procedures, and applying shipowners’ or cargo interests’ rights under English law and maritime practice.
