Ince and Co.

Ince & Co is an international law firm with a global reputation in shipping, insurance, energy and international trade law, and has 53 partners and 130 other fee earners worldwide. Founded in 1870, the firm has offices in the City of London, Hong Kong, Singapore, Piraeus and Shanghai.

The firm has an enviable reputation for clear legal analysis and tenacious, imaginative dispute resolution, including ADR, mediation and litigation. Crucially underpinning this legal expertise is a firm-wide belief in the need for fee earners to understand clients' industries and, in particular, their commercial interests. Another feature of the firm's service is continuity in that clients deal with the same partner from initial advice to resolution, be it settlement or trial.

Our combination of expertise and flexibility means that we are centrally involved in virtually every major maritime casualty worldwide, acting for shipowners, charterers, cargo interests, P&I or other insurers. Our network of offices receives instructions on a wide range of admiralty matters including a large proportion of major maritime casualties in Asia. Ince & Co is consistently rated as market leader in the top category by the legal directories. Our track record of acting for the principal parties - the shipowners and their insurers - in major casualties, in particular in head line emergencies, continues to be unparalleled.
