Our Service

Maritime

We resolve disputes related to cargo claims (including claims for compensation for cargo and defense), charterparty disputes, marine accidents (including collisions, groundings, fires, sinkings, capsizing) and ship arrests, among others. In these cases, the initial response is often crucial, and we respond quickly at the initial stage. In addition, based on past dispute resolution cases, we support the realization of favorable practices that are less likely to cause disputes in daily operations such as contract conclusion.

Aviation

We resolve disputes when incidents occur related to air transportation. Aviation law is similar to maritime law, but there are many differences, and specialized practical and legal knowledge is required. As it is a relatively new field, there are many unresolved issues, but we explore practical solutions to achieve favorable results for our clients.

Multimodal transport (forwarding business)

Today's transportation involves a wide range of operations – a single object or container may transfer from ocean to air to land and could involve customs clearance, movement in port, vanning and warehousing. Because these operations can cross borders and involve many stakeholders, the legal risks are extremely complex. In addition to responding to problems such as cargo damage and cargo refusal, we also provide advice to shippers and forwarders on risk control in their daily operations.

International Sales

In international transactions conducted by trading companies and manufacturers, there are many risks in sales contracts that must be considered for each product and region. In addition to considering such issues in sales contracts, it is extremely important to also consider the risks in the transportation of the product (charterparty and bill of lading) and the optimal arrangement of cargo insurance. We provide advice from a multifaceted perspective that considers each contract of sale, transportation, and insurance.

Coastal facilities (including ports, terminals, quays and fishing facilities)

Coastal facilities can be damaged in a variety of ways such as ship collisions, oil spills or fires. When such incidents occur, the initial response at the time, including the protection of rights, is extremely important. In addition, unique legal systems such as the Shipowners' Liability Limitation Act and the Port and Harbor Act are intricately related. Taking into account various systems, we will respond to achieve damage recovery for coastal facility owners.

Insurance

When an incident occurs, it is necessary to take into consideration insurance when responding to the accident. Insurance legal systems can vary between countries, therefore based on past incident responses, we determine where the legal risks in transportation lie, and then provide advice to insurance companies, brokers, and policyholders on optimal insurance arrangements.
