Acting on its own and also forming a part of an integrated global team that includes key offices in London and Singapore, Penningtons Manches Cooper LLP has good traction among P&I clubs, shipowners and operators, representing them across a range of cross-border disputes relating to marine casualties, charterparties, bills of lading, cargo claims, sanctions, sale and purchase disputes. The team is currently led from London by Darryl Kennard following the sad and untimely death in June 2023 of former team head and shipping luminary Douglas Bateson.
