Darryl Kennard
Work Department
Shipping, Commercial dispute resolution
Position
Darryl is a partner in the marine, trade and energy team in the London office and a key member of the emergency response team. He is one of the few shipping lawyers who specialise in both ‘wet’ and ‘dry’ work from collisions, salvage, groundings, total losses, fires and piracy through to charterparty disputes and claims arising under bills of lading.
Based in Norway for one year and in Singapore for five years, Darryl receives instructions from salvors, container lines, dry bulk and tanker owners as well as charterers, traders, P&I clubs and other insurers.

London > Transport > Shipping
(Leading individuals)Praised for its ‘dedication to its clients and a pragmatic commercial attitude’, Penningtons Manches Cooper LLP sports a robust shipping practice that is regularly involved in a wide spectrum of disputes. Darryl Kennard receives frequent instructions from shipowners, underwriters and salvage companies, handling both wet and dry matters; he jointly leads the team with Alex McIntosh, whose areas of focus include charterparties, bills of lading, and casualties. Mark Sachs retains strong ties with clients in the Japanese insurance sector.
Greece > Shipping litigation
Acting on its own and also forming a part of an integrated global team that includes key offices in London and Singapore, Penningtons Manches Cooper LLP has good traction among P&I clubs, shipowners and operators, representing them across a range of cross-border disputes relating to marine casualties, charterparties, bills of lading, cargo claims, sanctions, sale and purchase disputes. The team is currently led from London by Darryl Kennard following the sad and untimely death in June 2023 of former team head and shipping luminary Douglas Bateson.
