Clyde & Co LLP

ASG Representative Jai Sharma

Protecting and promoting high standards in the practice of English Maritime Law

Clyde & Co LLP is a leading international law firm recognised for its strength in shipping, insurance and trade disputes, with a specialist Marine Casualty Department advising on major incidents worldwide.

The team acts on complex matters arising from collisions, salvage and General Average, as well as charterparty and marine insurance disputes. The firm is regularly instructed by insurers and cargo interests on high-value and technically demanding claims.

Clyde & Co’s lawyers have substantial experience in High Court litigation in London, limitation proceedings and multi-jurisdictional disputes, and are closely involved in a significant proportion of Lloyd’s Open Form salvage arbitrations each year. The practice is equally active in LMAA, SCMA, and other maritime arbitration forums, delivering a co-ordinated strategy across forums and jurisdictions. As well as involvement in many of the most important cases, a key strength of the department is its integrated legal and technical capability, supported by in-house Master Mariners who provide operational insight from the earliest stages of casualty response through to dispute resolution.

With a strong international presence across Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Americas, and a well established global network of maritime correspondents, Clyde & Co is well positioned to manage marine casualty claims seamlessly across borders.
