Maritime Law
The Adriatic region has long been defined by maritime trade, port activity, and a yachting tradition. Today, shipping, port operations, and leisure boating continue to play an important role in regional commerce and tourism. Businesses operating in the sector must address a regulatory framework based on international maritime conventions, EU rules, and national legislation, while managing operational and commercial risks across multiple jurisdictions.
Regional Maritime Expertise
Our Maritime Practice advises clients on a wide range of matters relating to shipping, port operations, and vessel ownership. We support vessel owners, operators, charter companies, insurers, investors, and port stakeholders on cargo claims, carriage contracts, bills of lading, maritime liability, port access and concession arrangements, and regulatory compliance. Our work also includes yacht acquisition and sale, vessel financing, registration and flagging, chartering arrangements, maritime insurance, and related VAT, tax, and customs matters.
Supporting Maritime Business
Working with colleagues across Southeast Europe, we provide coordinated support on cross-border maritime matters. We assist clients throughout the lifecycle of a vessel, from acquisition and financing to registration, operations, and dispute resolution. Our team represents clients in maritime disputes, including vessel arrest, marine casualties, salvage claims, and environmental liability.
