Clinton Consultancy has a leading shipping and transport practice throughout Africa. We are regularly instructed on high profile and complex maritime matters that span wet and dry shipping alike. Our network of maritime lawyers are based in Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra-Leone, Kenya, Egypt, Morocco, South Africa, Djibouti, Tanzania, Egypt, Benin, Togo and Ivory Coast.
As African-wide legal service providers to the marine industry, we have extensive experience in cases concerning the arrest and attachment of vessels, maritime casualties, ship finance, and mortgage enforcement. The shipping team primarily advises ship owners, charterers, marine insurers, foreign law offices, ship finance banks, and commodity traders on a wide range of issues, but particularly in relation to ship casualty and emergency response, and maritime claims. The team specializes in ports, terminals and charterparty expertise. Other strands of work include mortgage foreclosures and workouts, cross-border insolvencies, undersea telecommunications projects, and power ship financing. We also act in a range of other matters, such as cargo recovery claims and vessel collision claims.
Our approach to providing bespoke and on-the-ground legal and regulatory support across Africa is based on the belief that being networked, as we support international companies before ships enter African territories and when disasters occur, reduces risk and cost for all parties involved. As a result, we provide retainers for specialized services such as acquiring local permits, as well as retainers for legal opinions, surveying, litigation, and so on.
