Casualty

Our team advises P&I Clubs, H&M insurers, Owners, Charterers and Salvors in relation to all aspects of maritime casualties, including collisions, fixed and floating object damage, salvage, towage, groundings, fires, container losses, pollution, unsafe ports, wreck removal and general average.

We advise on all types of investigation, risk management and emergency planning. We have a network of lawyers and experts around the world and, unrestricted by overseas offices or other arrangements, we can recommend the most appropriate choices for our clients’ needs. We also have close relationships with technical experts who can extract and present digital navigation data (including MADAS data), allowing us to conduct a desktop review of causation and liability. This form of casualty investigation, which may avoid the need for travel or witness statements, can often provide the necessary information in the most efficient and cost-effective manner. We also offer fixed fee investigations.
