Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘The Kennedys team has a broad depth of knowledge and experience in the maritime sector and beyond. Kennedys are able to consider matters from both a commercial and legal perspective and recognise that it is not always in our best interest to pursue a litigious outcome and rather a commercial result is the most advantageous for all.’
‘We specifically engage with Jonathan Wyatt who is articulate, very experienced in maritime law and a very deep thinker in that he can foresee potential consequences in actions taken by others.'
