The growing importance of this sector of maritime law has led to a more profound specialisation by our law firm in the subject.
We are now a point of reference for anyone who needs to tackle complex negotiations for the sale of a yacht or for the conclusion of contracts for the construction of new boats (by free bargaining or through the use of standard forms such as the MYBA), with the necessary financing and with due attention to applicable fiscal arrangements.
Our practice uses our own custom-made forms for sale, construction, exchange, charter, loan and contract agreements.
Lawyers of this practice will use procedural instruments such as precautionary procedures and emergency assistance where necessary as they regularly assist customers in disputes with shipyards relating to the quality or the execution of the shipbuilding or repair, the guarantee for defects, with the assistance of specialist technical consultants relating to specific areas of competence, and any other dispute related to various phases of the use of the vessel.
