Berrymans Lace Mawer

As part of the Marine Division at Berrymans Lace Mawer, one of the largest specialist insurance practices in England, the Admiralty Team enjoys all the advantages of a large firm with a network of overseas lawyers and specialists to call on.

Our staff includes formerly seagoing staff with experience in many types of ship, foreign going, up to and including command.

As a general principle we seek to resolve cases, at the right price, without recourse to the courts; but where that proves impossible we will pursue or defend claims vigorously in whatever jurisdiction is appropriate, in court or arbitration.

We have been involved in recent widely publicised casualties and many of our clients could be regarded as household names.

Our particular experience includes: hull and Machinery insurance and reinsurance, collision,fire, salvage, building disputes, heavy weather damage and total loss, personal injury and marine enquiries.

Those we act for include underwriters (hull, cargo, liability) ; P & I Clubs; shipowners; crew members and their families.

We are available in emergency at any time throughout the year.
