We are legal problem solvers.

We begin by listening. More often than not clients know the answers to their own questions.

We try to give realistic expectations including the likely costs that will be involved.

If the client’s objective requires us to be are adversarial, we will engage our opponents fearlessly but with professionalism and civility. We find ourselves often facing our friends on the other side. That can be very helpful and it may expedite the resolution of a dispute. On the other hand, no friend of ours would expect us to pull our punches or to resist taking an advantage for our client.

Some of us sit as arbitrators and have been appointed by former adversaries.

We are as at home in Courts and Tribunals as we are in mediation rooms or in front of a screen negotiating. with someone thousands of miles away.

We handle all types of maritime disputes.
