Yachting

Summary

With a strong history in maritime law, we provide legal advice on all aspects of yacht and superyacht ownership. Our firm combines an in-depth understanding of the industry with solution-focused commercial and practical guidance. Our clients include owners, managers, insurers, yacht brokers, yards and suppliers.

We advise on new build contracts, sale and purchase transactions, ownership structures, registration and choice of flag. Where finance is required, we provide support on the associated finance arrangements.
We frequently provide legal advice on operational matters including management, insurance and crew contracts, whether yachts are operated commercially or privately.

If a casualty does occur, we have considerable experience in responding to the incident and handling disputes arising from it. Our lawyers are ready to act immediately following a serious casualty and to advise on any criminal investigation or maritime investigation by the Greek port authorities and coast guard. We also engage with independent technical experts to assist with the preservation and collation of evidence.
