UK Shipping and Maritime Law
Curtis David Garrard (CDG) is a young and energetic UK law firm working exclusively
in the global energy and shipping sectors. Based in London, our business is international
in scope, and we represent a worldwide client base ranging from small and large
shipowners in Europe and North America, to major shipyards in Asia, and leading
oil and gas companies in the USA, the Middle East and Australia.
Our shipping clients comprise shipowners, charterers, shipyards, financing banks
and insurers, including P&I clubs. Our work covers the entire spectrum of commercial
shipping and encompasses the rapidly growing international Superyacht market, which
has grown significantly over the past decade, as the elite club of high net worth
individuals seeking this ultimate status symbol expands rapidly. We are one of the
UK market leaders in the provision of legal advice in relation to shipbuilding and
ship conversion projects of all kinds.
Our dedicated dispute resolution team handles problems and disputes over a range
of commercial offshore and shipping matters. Partners and associates of the firm
have worked on some large and complex arbitrations and litigation proceedings in
the maritime sector including the “SOLITAIRE” pipelay barge dispute, which generated
what is believed to be the largest and the longest-running maritime arbitration
ever conducted in the UK.
