Litigation & Arbitration

We run all types of proceedings before the Spanish courts and arbitration panels and attend hearings and appeals in respect of maritime claims regarding chartering disputes, cargo claims, marine casualties, newbuilding controversies, international sales and all the other procedures involving civil liability and debt collection.

We also make arrangements before the Spanish courts for the recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards and judgements in Spain. We are also able to obtain security in order to guarantee the result of the future outcome of all the above proceedings, by filing applications for ship arrest and also for the arrest of bunkers, cargo, freight and other assets belonging to the debtor.

Finally and in respect of asset recovery we also carry out seizure proceedings of a ship or other assets in execution or satisfaction of a judgement or award, and also in case of enforcement of ship mortgages and other securities.

If needed, we are supported by appropriate marine surveyors during the course of the proceedings and hearings in order to obtain the most favourable result.
