Maritime, Ports & Shipbuilding

Maritime law rewards specialists: the rights, liens, and limitation regimes are unlike any other practice area. We represent shipyards and repair facilities, shipowners and charterers, ports and terminal operators, and marine-services companies across the full water cycle — vessel construction and repair contracts, ship registration and financing, charterparties and bills of lading, carriage-of-goods disputes, and maritime casualties including grounding, collision, salvage, and crew claims. We appear in MARINA and admiralty proceedings and understand how Philippine maritime law interacts with international conventions. For shipbuilders, the construction contract is the crucible — we draft and enforce every milestone, guarantee, and defect claim, and ensure the vessel is registered, classed, and secured.
