Shipping & Maritime

The Shipping and Maritime Law sector with all of its quirks, is one of the most fundamental industries to the UK economy (for prosperity and security – according to gov.uk), and internationally too.

Fighting Shipping & Maritime fraud, disputes & more

Shipping law is a complex and ever-evolving field that presents a range of legal challenges. Tenet is a specialist fraud firm with a range of maritime experience. We provide our clients with an unparalleled in-depth understanding of the risks associated with the maritime industry.

Maritime fraud appears to be on the rise (according to United Nations data). It causes significant disruption to supply chains and can add unwanted costs to all involved. Whilst many parties will look at contractual issues, they may overlook the variety of dishonesty-type claims that may also place Claimants in a better position. That is just one way we can help.

Our team of experienced professionals have successfully handled a wide range of domestic and international arbitration and litigation cases, including complex and high-profile matters. Our expertise and knowledge within the shipping sector helps our clients worldwide anticipate and respond to potential disputes with greater confidence. Value of cases range from low value, to billion-dollar claims.
