If you need legal advice in the shipping and aviation sector, you'll want a lawyer who has specialist expertise in the market. We have a long track record of acting for lenders and borrowers in the shipping and aviation markets covering private and commercial aircraft and vessels.

As well as dealing with UK legal issues we can call on our membership of Interlaw to get access to lawyers worldwide to help you deal with any foreign legal questions.  We have recently worked with lawyers in the Channel Islands, various Caribbean jurisdictions, Singapore and Canada on marine financings, for example.
