Disputes

In the boating world, disputes often arise from complex contracts and high-value assets. Tackling them with the right documents and with professionals who know maritime law makes all the difference, whether you are seeking a settlement or going to court.

The most common disputes

• sales: hidden defects, discrepancies with what was declared, missing or irregular documents;
• shipyard work: late delivery, substandard work, disputes over build or refit costs;
• charter and hire: vessel not available, damage, security deposits;
• moorings and storage: berth contracts, damage to vessels in custody;
• brokerage: disputed commissions and broker liability;
• claims settlement: claims refused by the insurer or settlements considered too low;
• crew relations and debt recovery.

How we work

• we review contracts, invoices, correspondence and the vessel's documents with you;
• we reconstruct the boat's administrative history and obtain any missing documents from the relevant offices;
• where needed, we arrange a technical survey with qualified surveyors;
• we coordinate lawyers specialising in maritime and shipping law, for out-of-court negotiations or court proceedings.

We are not lawyers: legal advice and representation are provided by the professionals instructed, while we support you with the documents and administration, so you do not have to act as go-between.
