View profile →Frequently asked questions
What does a shipping lawyer do?
A shipping lawyer advises on ship sale and finance, charter parties, cargo and collision claims, ship arrest and marine insurance.
When do you need a shipping lawyer?
You are likely to need one when you buy, finance or charter a vessel, have a cargo or collision claim, or need a ship arrested or released. Taking advice early usually costs less than putting things right later.
How do I find a good shipping lawyer?
Check that they are qualified or registered to practise in the country concerned, for example with the local bar association or professional body, and that they have handled matters like yours, including any cross-border element. Ask who will do the work, which languages they work in and how they charge before you instruct them. Each shipping lawyer listed on this page has a profile with their firm, practice areas and contact details, so you can compare them before getting in touch.
How much does a shipping lawyer cost?
Fees depend on the firm, the experience of the person advising you and how complex the matter is. Firms commonly charge by the hour, a fixed fee for a defined piece of work, or a combination of the two. Ask for a written estimate and the terms of engagement before any work starts.
Do I need a lawyer or an adviser for maritime & shipping matters?
Use a lawyer for legal advice, contracts and anything that may end up before a court or a regulator. Advisers such as accountants, tax advisers and consultants handle compliance, financial and business advice. Many matters need both, which is why Find an Expert lists both, under the Legal and Advisory specialisms.
How do I contact a shipping lawyer through Corporate INTL?
