Showcasing significant experience in dry and wet shipping matters, Castro Barros Advogados stands out for its strong track record in contentious cross-border work. The group, which often works in collaboration with the firm’s litigation, insurance, infrastructure and corporate practices, continues to be engaged by shipowners, insurers, shipyards and industry service providers, and has recently gained ground in the P&I club segment. Typical mandates range from ship arrests to maritime casualties, P&I claims, charterparty and cargo disputes, but the group is also well placed to handle transactions. The practice, whose ‘in-depth knowledge of maritime law’ is rated by clients, is under the joint leadership of the ‘very prompt and commercially minded’ Olympio Carvalho and Camilla Werneck, the latter of whom is a strong performer in shipping and transport disputes. Associate Ana Luiza Rizzo Cardoso specialises in dispute resolution in the shipping sector, including cases involving offshore oil and gas projects.
