We will tell you a claim is not worth pursuing
Sometimes the recoverable sum is smaller than the cost of recovering it. We would rather say so in the first meeting than bill you for eighteen months of arriving at the same place.

- Casualty line answered out of hours
- No referral fees taken or paid
What we do
Where owners usually need us
Nothing matches that search. to see everything.
How we work
The awkward parts, stated at the outset
Fixed fees on work that usually runs on the clock
Purchase, registration and a set of crew agreements are quoted as a single figure, not an hourly rate inside a range. If the file takes longer than we judged, that is our problem and not your invoice.
We say so when the other side is right
A point conceded in April is far cheaper than the same point conceded at a hearing in November. It shortens the file, it reduces what we can charge for it, and it remains the correct advice.
We hand files on and take nothing for it
A tax question in a jurisdiction we do not practise in goes to someone who does. We take no referral fee and pay none, and we do not keep work in-house to justify what it costs you.
“The yard's final account came to £412,000 against an estimate of £268,000. They went through the variation orders, found eleven that nobody had signed, and settled it in nine weeks without an arbitration. I had been told to expect two years of it.”
