Maritime Disputes & Prevention
Independent Neutrals for Global Trade and Shipping.
Maritime trade powers the global economy, but it is also vulnerable to disputes: charter parties, bills of lading, shipbuilding contracts, collisions, salvage, and port operations. These conflicts are cross-border, high-value, and time-sensitive, often spanning multiple jurisdictions and international law.
At THE NEUTRALS, our Maritime Panel includes arbitrators, mediators, and sector specialists with deep knowledge of shipping, admiralty law, and international trade. They combine independence, impartiality, and global standards to ensure conflicts are resolved fairly, efficiently, and with minimal disruption to commerce.
