Shipping litigation

Timagenis Law Firm

Client Satisfaction

‘Locally rooted but with an international mindset’, Timagenis Law Firm has developed a strong reputation among domestic and foreign stakeholders, including owners and insurers, across a myriad of litigation and arbitration, where it is appreciated for its ’relentless and dogged drive’ to obtain a favourable result. As well as conventional wet and dry disputes, including charterparty matters and marine pollution cases, the firm is also well-versed in handling finance and commercial disputes in the sector, including for banks on debt enforcement issues and for parties engaged in shipping shareholder disputes. Drawing upon his ‘exceptional’ knowledge of both English and Greek laws and procedures, ’outstanding’ dual qualified partner Yiannis Timagenis is a firm favourite among clients and provides ‘commercially oriented and practical solutions’, including on asset tracing and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards. Gregory Timagenis, who co-heads the team alongside Yiannis, has ’built a track-record of international proportions’, and as well as making regular appearances before the Greek Supreme Court has also successfully appeared in cases spanning ‘almost every continent, as well as in the open waters where International Law prevails’. US and Greek-qualified partner Christos Timagenis, who ’knows the shipping industry inside out’ is another practitioner within the team with outstanding international exposure, and provides ‘tailored and practical advice’ across a range of multi-jurisdictional disputes and is also qualified to practice before the Supreme Court of Greece.
