Hill Dickinson LLP is well-placed to handle the full spectrum of both contentious and non-contentious shipping matters. The team regularly acts for banks, P&I clubs, cargo owners, and the Hong Kong Government across a diverse range of disputes and shipping finance matters. Damian Laracy heads up the team alongside Gary Wong and Janice Lee. Laracy is a skilled litigator and arbitrator who specialises in debt and asset recovery matters, while Wong handles non-contentious mandates, including cross-border ship and project finance as well as lending and restructuring matters. Lee acts for PRC clients in asset financing matters, in particular sale and leaseback transactions. Disputes expert Jim James is also recommended, while David Beaves is a key contact for ship financing and leasing matters.
