Collision and Marine Casualty Disputes

Helping clients respond to vessel collisions, casualties and related claims

Collision and marine casualty disputes often arise in urgent and technically complex circumstances. They may involve vessel collisions, contact with fixed objects, groundings, damage to cargo or property, pollution risks, salvage issues, injury or loss of life, and disputes over liability between multiple parties. In such matters, legal analysis must often be combined with a clear understanding of the factual and operational background of the incident.

Our lawyers assist clients in responding to collision and marine casualty events from an early stage. This may include initial legal assessment, coordination with owners, operators, insurers, P&I Clubs, surveyors, experts and lawyers in other jurisdictions, as well as support in preserving evidence and structuring the client’s position. We also assist seafarers and their families in issues arising out of serious maritime incidents, including cases involving injury or loss of life.

Where formal proceedings become necessary, we represent clients in arbitration, litigation and related processes connected with liability, recovery, insurance and other consequences of the casualty. Our approach combines legal expertise with practical industry understanding, including technical support within our team where the nature of the matter requires it.

Our Approach

Deep knowledge of law and the industry

Rabomizo works with the norms of international maritime law and national maritime codes of various jurisdictions, grounded in a deep understanding of shipping operations and the commercial realities of the industry.

Experience in dispute resolution in international jurisdictions

We have represented clients in London, Greece, Turkey, Ukraine, Switzerland, Oman and other jurisdictions.

Rapid response in crisis situations

We promptly engage in communication with the parties involved, prepare well-grounded responses and develop a defence and negotiation strategy at any stage of the process.

Understanding of shipping operations

Our solutions take into account not only legal aspects but also the practical side of a shipowner’s or operator’s business. Clients do not need to spend time explaining – we understand the complexity of maritime processes and provide full support.

About us

We support our clients in structuring solid business agreements, managing the risks and making decisions within complex multi-jurisdictional frameworks.

If the claims, delays, sanctions, restrictions, or disputes arise, we develop and implement a legal strategy, representing clients across the jurisdictions and legal systems. Our work combines sector knowledge with a clear understanding of the international regulatory environment.
