Maritime
Recoveries (pre-litigation/arbitration)
We assist clients in recovering outstanding receivables and enforcing payment obligations in the shipping and maritime industry through commercially focused and cost-effective strategies. By tailoring our approach to the size and nature of each claim, we help clients maximize recovery while minimizing unnecessary expenditure.
Wherever possible, we seek to resolve matters at an early stage through:
- Drafting and issuing persuasive demand letters;
- Engaging in negotiations and settlement discussions;
- Conducting pre-action investigations to evaluate recovery prospects and enforcement options.
A significant number of matters are resolved successfully without the need for court proceedings or arbitration, allowing clients to achieve efficient and commercially sensible outcomes.
