LA Marine

LA Marine provides expert advice and practical solutions to the commercial shipping and leisure marine industries.

As well as benefiting from the wealth of experience we have in this highly specialist area of law, our clients tell us that they value our friendly, down-to-earth approach. As a client of LA Marine you can be confident that our lawyers really understand your business and the sector. Several members of the team were formerly partners or senior assistants at leading shipping law firms in London or Singapore. With our offices located in both London and Southampton, clients also get the advantage of a London presence combined with the lower fees which a regional base allows.

Our clients include insurers, P&I Clubs, marine finance companies, cruise line and other ship owners and operators, harbour and port authorities, marina operators, yacht charter companies, repair yards, yacht brokers and dealers and private individuals. We deal with all aspects of marine law from collisions, charter issues, bill of lading disputes and demurrage claims to more general topics such as breach of contract, negligence and personal injury. We also offer expertise in non-contentious matters such as vessel sale and purchase contracts, charter agreements and marina/port developments and provide a fixed fee yacht registration service.

LA Marine is an Associate Member of the Passenger Shipping Association. Members of the team also provide a variety of seminars to clients and professional bodies worldwide.
