Counting shipowners and charterer, P&I Clubs, alongside major shipyards amongst its key clients, the HFW practice has ‘comprehensive knowledge’ in cross-border contractual disputes and complex insurance matters. The team advises high-profile collisions and pollution claims, in tandem with bilateral debt financing and capital raising affairs, with Hong Kong-based co-head Christopher Chan specialising in maritime arbitration proceedings. The other co-lead, Nicholas Poynder, covers both contentious and transactional work from the Shanghai office, Patrick Yeung primarily focuses on disputes arising from personal injury and shipbuilding scenarios, and Henry Fung covers crew claims, enforcement, and ship mortgages from his base in Hong Kong. Jenny Chester stands out for her work on maritime casualty-related claims.
