The group of ten partners acts for the full range of clients, with a predominantly contentious workload that includes a significant flow of arbitrations and court proceedings. Michael Smith, Guy Mills, Jonathan Green, Allen Marks, Stephen Ravenscroft and Nicola Jeanes are all highly rated.

Eversheds LLP’s ‘outstanding’ team operates from Newcastle, London, Qatar and Hong Kong, and acts for shipowner, charterer and insurer clients, among them Thomas Miller P&I, North of England P&I and Steamship Mutual P&I. Team head Stephen Mackin and Jessica Maitra are recommended, and Richard Eglington does ‘impressive work’.
