The shipping practice at Webber Wentzel has extensive experience in advising on a wide range of contentious and non-contentious maritime work. Insurers, shipowners, charterers, port owners and operators, and agents are included in the client base, and the team regularly assists with, among other areas, international trade issues, ship arrests, maritime casualties, enforcement of maritime claims and commercial shipping transactions. The practice is jointly led by Patrick Holloway, the ‘technically outstanding’ Andre Bowley and Gavin Fitzmaurice, ‘one of the most commercially-savvy maritime lawyers in the international market’. On the aviation side, the group is jointly led by Neerasha Singh, who is well versed in handling aviation finance, and Scott Edmundson, who has a solid track record in assisting banks, export credit agencies and airlines with a broad range of financing matters. The team is equally strong at advising on the import and export of aircraft among other aviation regulatory issues.
