Shipping · Freight · Oil · LNG

What's missing from the decision you're about to make?

Do you operate in shipping, freight, oil or LNG without specialist in-house legal support?

Perhaps you're:

  • Negotiating a contract
  • Assessing a new opportunity
  • Being asked to accept unfamiliar terms
  • Dealing with a difficult counterparty
  • Entering a new market or trade
  • Making a significant commercial decision
  • Wondering whether to proceed, renegotiate or walk away

Important issues rarely arrive neatly labelled.

The challenge is often not solving the problem. It's understanding what you're really dealing with before you commit, react or escalate.

This is the gap between “business as usual” and a legal problem.

We Understand the Gap

From uncertainty to better-informed decisions

We understand and help organisations like yours identify opportunities and exposure before they become claims, disputes or missed opportunities, to make better informed decisions.

Drawing on legal, commercial and operational experience gained within shipping, energy trading and marine insurance businesses, we help you understand what is at stake, challenge assumptions and make better-informed decisions.

Experienced Insight, When You Need It

Built on more than 20 years of experience across shipping, freight, oil and LNG trading, marine insurance and complex disputes in a FTSE 100 energy company, and other shipping businesses, AGW brings together legal, commercial and operational experience.

We understand not only the legal position but how decisions affect the way your business operates and makes money.
