It is often said that the two best days of a yachtsman's life are the day they buy a boat, and the day they sell it. Funny enough, maybe, but for some less fortunate mariners, it can all be too true. Whether you own a boat, or are in the business of building them, or surveying them, or selling them, there are times when things can go seriously wrong. And that's where we come in - your marine law specialists - ready to pull you off the mud and set you back on course.

Marine Law

We have specialised in marine law for so long that we really do know the sharp end from the blunt end. In fact, we are uniquely placed to offer innovative and practical legal solutions to a wide range of boat related matters. Our clients come from all sectors of the market. We act for boatyards, marine manufacturers, brokers, commercial organisations and insurers, as well as individual boat owners.

If it floats (or if it doesn't!), we can help. We advise on construction disputes, contracts and purchases as well as professional negligence and insurance claims. We regularly deal with claims from £1,000 to £1 million, and where possible we achieve settlement through mediation, without the need for costly litigation. This information is intended to give you an overview of the areas of marine and admiralty law within which we work. So if you're deep in water, or have a problem that you'd like to discuss, please call us. We're here to help.
