‘Top-tier firm’ Bowmans garners praise for its ‘deep jurisdictional expertise’. The ‘responsive’ team has an excellent reputation for advising on a broad spectrum of shipping, aviation, and transport matters. Andrew Pike is a highly regarded practitioner in the port infrastructure and development space, and is regularly instructed by international port and terminal developers; Craig Cunningham brings over three decades of experience in shipping law, and acts for shipowners, financiers, marine insurers, charterers and suppliers in a wide range of contentious and non-contentious maritime work. Heather Manson, who leads the aviation group, fields expertise in aviation insurance, disputes and regulatory issues; Claudia Jackson has ‘a very impressive intellect and knowledge of the law, as well as strategic insight’. Lana Stockton‘s workload includes shipping litigation and cross-border shipping insolvency issues, and Jeremy Prain’s broad practice takes in ship finance, rail and road transportation work, and marine insurance cases. Bills of lading and charterparty matters are core areas of instruction for Mark van Velden, and Shanae Durman lends support on aviation insurance and dispute resolution matters.
