In September 2023, Birketts LLP took on a trio of seasoned shipping specialists – comprising Daniel Crockford, Alex Penberthy and Clarissa Dumolo – from Ince & Co; the firm is seen as having ‘scored a massive coup in attracting this team’. The group handles the gamut of contentious and advisory shipping matters, including commercial and contractual drafting, regulatory and licensing issues, insurance claims, and marine-related investigations.
