Newcastle-based shipping boutique Mills & Co handles a steady stream of contentious maritime matters, where the firm represents clients in arbitrations and before various courts such as the Admiralty Court. P&I Clubs, shipowners, and charterers regularly engage the firm on cases including collisions and pollution, though the firm is also active in the non-contentious space in work relating to shipbuilding, shipping contracts, or sale and purchase. Mark Doyle is particularly experienced in LMAA arbitrations, often acting on behalf of owners and charterers as well as P&I clubs. Casualty work is an area of focus for Guy Mills, and Andreas Welz is praised for his ‘excellent knowledge of admiralty matters’.
