intellectual, efficient and user-friendly barristers
Chambers UK 2006
For historical reasons, disputes in the fields of shipping and insurance have been central to the development of commercial law in England. For example, the leading House of Lords case on the remoteness of damages for breach of contract is The "Achilleas", a case involving the late redelivery of a vessel under a charterparty (and in which, incidentally, the successful party was represented by two members of 7KBW).
Given our pre-eminence in both shipping and insurance law, we are ideally placed to advise on, or act in, almost any commercial dispute. As a consequence, members of Chambers have been instructed in a variety of cases, dealing with such diverse issues as: the right of a Formula 1 team to retain the services of one of its drivers; and the public nuisance implications of the Buncefield explosion.
No matter what the subject matter of the dispute, members of Chambers always bring the same level of intellectual rigour to bear on its analysis and resolution.
