barristers who are very able and easy to work with
[an] ability to handle substantial shipping matters and attract a high quality of work
Chambers UK 2009
7KBW has a long-standing reputation for pre-eminence in the field of shipping. We are highly classified in successive editions of the Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners, whilst many of our members are consistently ranked as leading silks and juniors in the field.
Chambers’ practice ranges from charterparty, bills of lading and other international trade disputes, to those arising out of the financing, building, sale and purchase of vessels. 7KBW also possesses formidable expertise in the field of marine insurance, reflecting the two bedrocks of Chambers’ work, insurance and shipping.
All members of Chambers have considerable experience and know-how in most aspects of shipping law and regularly appear in court and arbitration on behalf of owners, charterers, cargo interests, buyers and sellers.
7KBW members have also appeared in a number of the most important shipping cases over the years, some recent highlights include The “Achilleas”, The “Raphaela S”, (both House of Lords) The “Front Comor” (the House of Lords and ECJ), The "Napoli" (ongoing) and, very recently, Berezovsky -v- Edmiston.
