Kelemenis & Co. deals both with 'dry' shipping, advising on charterparties, bills of lading and cargo claims, and with 'wet' shipping (admiralty), advising on cases arising out of collisions, salvages, total loss or pollution. We are committed to providing clear and efficient advice while displaying a thorough knowledge and understanding of the marine industry. Our client base is broad ranging from owners and shipping companies to charterers and financiers.

The firm handles all types of marine claims and liabilities, and we are in a position to provide urgent assistance such as obtaining injunctions or arrests. Our work, however, is not restricted to litigation, but extends to such matters as mega yacht-related work, marine insurance, ship finance, ship building, and crew claims, and indeed any corporate and commercial advice (tax, corporate finance, corporate acquisitions and disposals, capital markets) that is often needed in the shipping industry. The firm can advise on complex financial arrangements in relation to the construction and purchase of vessels, and can assist potential buyers and sellers of vessels in the drafting and negotiation of purchase contracts and sellers' documentation. The firm has arrangements in place to ensure the carrying out, if necessary, of marine investigations and the provision of accurate technical advice.
