- Shipping is a global business and WFW has shipping experts in all of its 14 offices worldwide, including in the UAE. We are a global force in the sector, with one of the largest dedicated maritime legal practices of any law firm in the world.
- We have been advising on maritime matters in the Middle East for more than 25 years, and due to increasing demand from a growing regional client base, we opened our office in the DIFC in Dubai in 2014.
- Our team globally has an unrivalled shipping client base of shipowners, charterers, ship managers, P&I and FD&D insurers, and banks with substantial shipping portfolios. From our Dubai office we are advising local and international banks as well as regional owners on financing matters. We also advise owners and operators on all aspects of their commercial businesses, including in relation to newbuilding programmes, sale and purchase, and shipping pools/strategic alliances. We act for, and with, a number of the major shipping companies in the region.
- We advise in every segment of the shipping industry, from tankers, LNG, LPG, dry bulk, containers, container boxes, drilling rigs and offshore support vessels, cruise and ferries.
- Beyond purely maritime transport, we also advise in related sectors such as ports and logistics.
