The world of yachting demands more than a love of the sea. It calls for navigating complex ownership structures, managing construction contracts, overseeing complex transactions and handling disputes when they arise.
Whether you're commissioning, buying, selling or financing a yacht or superyacht, structuring international ownership, or involved in a dispute, you need dedicated lawyers who understand your world and work alongside you at your pace.
Our experience in the yacht and superyacht sector is comprehensive, assisting clients with almost every aspect of superyacht ownership and operation. We handle both non-contentious and contentious matters, from transactional advice and yacht finance (where we support both lenders and borrowers) through to dispute resolution. We also advise on business jets and helicopters.
Our experienced team of yacht and superyacht lawyers operates from London, Monaco and Singapore, supported by a worldwide network of strategic partnerships including our cross-continental alliance with US law firm Alley Maass. We’re recognised worldwide for our expertise, bringing together one of the most experienced teams in the sector with a proven track record.
Recognised by clients as being trusted advisers with strategic and commercial instincts and a commitment to anticipating needs and delivering excellence. Drawing on over two centuries of maritime heritage, clients benefit from our ability to access a large network of relationships with flag states, regulatory bodies, builders, banks, brokers, designers, yacht managers, surveyors and other industry professionals.
Whether you're dealing with complex transactions or high-stakes disputes, we bring both maritime heritage and modern expertise to every matter.
