Shaw and Croft's

Shaw and Croft's core business is to provide legal services to the shipping, commodity trading, banking and insurance communities throughout the world. We represent a wide range of clients including shipowners, salvors, charterers, underwriters, insurance brokers, commodity traders and brokers, banks and property developers.

We deal with a wide range of other more general commercial litigation as well as non-contentious commercial work. The firm is large enough to handle major maritime casualties and international commercial fraud cases, yet small enough to be tightly and commercially run.

We work in all the major European languages and many in the firm have relevant non-legal qualifications and experience including seafaring, diving and underwriting.

Shaw and Croft place considerable importance upon economic use of resources to meet our client's requirements, and a commercial approach to the job we have to do.

We have established an extensive network of trusted consultants and foreign lawyers, as well as our own representative office in Greece and can thus provide prompt assistance anywhere in the world.

We also have considerable experience of computerised litigation support.
