Legal support and investigations
Legal disputes and major commercial investigations are intense affairs requiring detailed analysis, planning, and foresight. International trade can complicate matters, where different laws or conflicting legislation raises altercations between counterparties or other business partners. As a result of the complexity of chartering and other large-scale commercial or industrial disputes, expert legal support is often required from third-parties with experience in these sectors.

Legal Support for Maritime, Energy & Commodity Sectors
This legal support is usually critical for ensuring the desired solution. Cases reinforced with comprehensive evidence, accurate data, and forensic analysis are stronger and more likely to lead to a win. Commercial investigations are similarly dependent upon the availability and accuracy of company knowledge to inform, evidence, and drive the success of their cases, making comprehensive legal support a vital resource for large business of all kinds.
What does legal support typically provide you with?
The purpose of legal support is to provide companies embroiled in disputes with information and guidance. Disputes can arise for any number of reasons, from incomplete transactions, failed credit, and failed terms of agreement to contractual breaks, lawsuits, and territorial disputes.
The role of your legal support is to provide you with correct legal information, forensic investigation, evidence preparation, legal briefings in advance of actions, debriefing after actions, representation in court, and other forms of court support. They may also advise you on best courses of action prior to disputes, in order to avoid potential legal action.
