What does a maritime lawyer do?
Maritime or admiralty law covers ships and the carriage of goods by sea: charterparties, bills of lading, cargo and collision claims, ship arrest, marine insurance, salvage, crew matters and ship sale and finance.
How do I choose a maritime lawyer?
- Ask whether the lawyer can arrest or release a vessel quickly in the relevant port.
- Check experience with the type of claim, as cargo, collision and charter disputes differ.
- Bring the bill of lading or charterparty, survey reports and the ship’s documents.
