Ship release from arrest

Claims and disputes, litigation and arbitration are constant companions of international business. However, it would be a mistake to say that as a result of such a turn of events, one party loses and the other wins. At Interlegal, we pride ourselves on our ability to achieve our clients’ goals in a pre-trial manner.

Key areas of expertise:

1. Pre-arbitration settlement (Claims Handling):

Settlement of claims of the parties to contracts regarding mutual settlements, shortages, quality of goods to achieve the client’s goals.
In 70% of cases, our maritime lawyers manage to achieve the desired result for the client within the framework of pre-trial settlement.

2. Negotiations with insurance companies:

We negotiate with insurance companies and recover insurance amounts, ensuring proper compensation for our clients.

3. Representation in international maritime and industry arbitrations:

Representing clients in international maritime and industry arbitrations (LMAA, GAFTA, FOSFA, etc.) under English law.
Significant professional experience in resolving disputes regarding quantitative characteristics of goods, sea carriage, demurrage and dispatch payments, as well as cases related to non-fulfilment of contractual obligations, export bans and other restrictive measures.

4. Prompt and effective protection of clients:

The presence of a representative office in London, membership in LMAA, FOSFA, the Maritime Institute of Ukraine, which is a subsidiary of the UK Maritime Institute, allows us to respond quickly to changes and effectively protect the interests of our clients.

5. Defence in national and international courts:

We represent clients in disputes in the High Court of Justice of England and Wales and other foreign courts.
We organise effective representation in the ICAC at the Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the MAC at the Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Ukrainian courts.

6. Seizure of assets:

We detain and arrest ships in Ukrainian and foreign ports.
We seize funds on accounts in foreign banks, corporate rights and other assets of companies and individuals in Ukraine and abroad, as well as the debtor’s cargo on ships, terminals and warehouses.

Advantages of cooperation with Interlegal:

Professionalism and experience: Many years of experience in maritime law and dispute resolution.
International representation: Offices and representative offices in key jurisdictions, which allows us to effectively protect the interests of clients at the international level.
Integrated approach: From pre-trial settlement to representation in international arbitrations and courts.

Our lawyers are actively involved in specialised arbitrations and have in-depth experience and knowledge to protect your interests. We are proud of our achievements and are ready to assist you and your business in resolving complex legal issues related to cargo seizures at terminals.
