Ship Release from Arrest

In the realm of international business, claims, disputes, litigation, and arbitration are frequent occurrences. Yet, it is misleading to assume that such proceedings inevitably yield a clear winner and loser. At Interlegal, we take pride in resolving our clients’ challenges through pre-trial avenues wherever possible, striving for outcomes that protect their interests while minimizing time and expense.

Key Areas of Expertise

  1. Pre-Arbitration Settlement (Claims Handling)
    • We mediate the settlement of contractual disputes involving mutual settlements, shortages, or product quality, ensuring our clients’ objectives are met.
    • In 70% of cases, our maritime lawyers succeed in attaining the client’s goals through pre-trial negotiation, avoiding costly and prolonged legal proceedings.
  2. Negotiations with Insurance Companies
    • We conduct direct talks with insurers to recover due compensation, helping our clients secure fair settlements for their claims.
  3. Representation in International Maritime and Industry Arbitrations
    • We advocate for clients before prominent maritime and industry arbitration bodies (LMAA, GAFTA, FOSFA, etc.) under English law.
    • Our extensive background spans disputes over goods’ quantitative characteristics, sea transport arrangements, demurrage and dispatch payments, and noncompliance with contractual terms, including export bans and other restrictions.
  4. Prompt and Effective Client Protection
    • With a London-based office and memberships in LMAA, FOSFA, and the Maritime Institute of Ukraine (a subsidiary of the UK Maritime Institute), we respond swiftly to changes and safeguard our clients’ interests with agility and professionalism.
  5. Defence in National and International Courts
    • Our team represents clients before the High Court of Justice in England and Wales and other foreign judicial systems.
    • We also provide comprehensive representation at the International Commercial Arbitration Court (ICAC) under the Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Maritime Arbitration Commission (MAC), and in Ukrainian courts.
  6. Seizure of Assets
    • We effectuate the detention and arrest of vessels in Ukrainian and overseas ports.
    • Our services extend to freezing funds in foreign bank accounts, seizing corporate rights and other assets of companies and individuals both in Ukraine and abroad, as well as detaining the debtor’s cargo on ships, terminals, and in warehouses.

Advantages of Working with Interlegal

  • Professionalism and Experience: Our longstanding focus on maritime law and dispute resolution underscores our competence in delivering favorable results.
  • International Reach: With offices and representative presences in pivotal jurisdictions, we can efficiently protect clients’ interests on a global scale.
  • Comprehensive Approach: We manage every stage from pre-trial negotiation to representation in international arbitrations and courts.

Our lawyers regularly participate in specialized arbitrations, bringing substantial expertise to bear in defending your interests. We are proud of our track record and stand ready to assist you and your business in resolving complex legal issues, including cargo seizures at terminals and beyond.
