Shipping and Fishery
We are well-versed in the maritime world and speak your language. With understanding of the practice and an eye for the international context, we provide valuable advice. Solutions must be feasible and workable.
Our team has traditionally focused on maritime labour law and has special knowledge of fishery. We advise shipping companies, shipyards, agents, pension funds, works councils, interest groups and seafarers.
The daily practice of our maritime attorneys includes attachment and execution of sea-going vessels, litigation on the enforcement of inspection authorities, negotiations about compensation in the case of a shipping accident and advising about the Maritime Labour Convention, European fisheries regulations or reflagging.
