Wikborg Rein has a broad practice but is particularly well known for its in-depth understanding of the LNG, agricultural commodities, and alternative fuels markets. Chris Grieveson leads the commodities team- which is part of the broader shipping offshore sector group- and is labelled as ‘an expert commodities litigator who adds great tactical insight’. Baptiste Weijburg frequently advises on commodity-related logistics, particularly involving the storage, transshipment, and movement of both wet and dry products across key global regions, including South America. Jack Wray is ’sharp, responsive, and has an exceptional work ethic’, and his work for commodity traders, energy companies, and industrial players on both contentious and transactional matters is noteworthy.
