Mattos Filho

Covering both dry and wet shipping matters, Mattos Filho fields a ‘team specialised in maritime law’ which is particularly noted for its strength in non-contentious work. The group attracts instructions from a variety of international shipping clients in relation to complex contractual arrangements for the construction, financing, purchase and sale of vessels, and is also adept in regulatory issues involving charterparty, services, crew management and operational agreements. Singled out for his commercial skills and ‘deep knowledge of the shipping industry’, Nilton Mattos acts for shipowners, energy companies, port operators and offshore drillers in an array of shipping matters. He receives support from a strong team of associates: Gabriel Acciarito, who focuses on dry shipping; Ana Clara Nascimento, a name to note for wet mandates, most notably marine casualties, cargo claims and charter party disputes; and Duane Sarlo, who brings together expertise in maritime incidents, contracts and transactional matters.
