Dispute resolution
Within Dispute resolution, tier 5
Ince & Co is also primarily known as a shipping firm, but has a fine record in the wider contentious environment.
Insurance
Within Insurance, Ince & Co is a second tier firm,
The ‘tactical and effective’ team at Ince & Co handles marine-related insurance work, stemming from its top-tier shipping practice, but the firm also advises on broader contentious and non-contentious insurance work. Clients praise the group’s ‘pragmatic advice’ and ‘diplomatic manner’. Rosita Lau advises all the leading container terminal operators of Hong Kong and their insurers, and also acts for the UK P&I Club. Offering ‘ample experience and knowledge’, Kelvin Lee is ‘able to conduct a detailed analysis of a case and provide clear insight and advice’. In 2010, Lee successfully acted for broker company MST Hong Kong in a professional negligence case.
Shipping
Within Shipping, Ince & Co is a first tier firm,
‘One of the best firms for shipping matters’, Ince & Co is ‘willing to take on jobs under time pressures, delivering helpful advice and prompt responses’. Although previously recognised for its focus on shipping litigation, the firm is increasing its presence in the ship finance space, where the level of service is described as ‘very good’. For non-contentious and finance expertise, Gary Wong was recently promoted to partner and the ‘excellent’ David Beaves is recommended. Beaves recently advised ORSO China on setting up an oil spill response consortium (the first of its kind) in China. For shipping disputes, Rosita Lau is the key contact and Max Cross (‘highly respected in the community’) offers ‘quick understanding and well-thought-through ideas’. Clients include Teekay Corporation, Bank of Communications, Bank of China and Credit Suisse AG.
