Our Maritime Dispute Process
01
Dispute Assessment Complimentary
A confidential initial assessment of the shipping transaction, contracts, parties, correspondence and dispute-resolution clause to identify the key issues and the appropriate route — negotiation, mediation, arbitration or litigation.
02
Dispute Position Statement
We help organise the charterparty, bills of lading, cargo records, correspondence and contractual documents into a concise Dispute Position Statement, giving each party a clear understanding of the factual and contractual issues.
03
Maritime Mediation
Confidential joint sessions and private caucuses are used to identify commercial interests, narrow disputed issues and explore practical settlement options, while maintaining mediator independence and neutrality.
04
Settlement
Agreed terms are recorded in Heads of Terms or a Settlement Agreement, covering appropriate commercial, payment, release, confidentiality and implementation provisions.
