areas of speciality in Australia. As recognition of this, he is a Fellow of a

freight forwarders; ship and boat builders and repairers; insurers and
different arms of government.

  • finance documentation associated with infrastructure projects;
  • preparing terms of trade and terms and conditions of carriage
    and related documents;
  • ship construction dispute;
  • legal liability claims both for and against insurers;
  • salvage and towing contracts and related disputes;
  • arbitration, mediation and all manner of dispute resolution;
  • the prosecution and defence of breaches of State of
    Commonwealth legislation; and
  • claims for material damage and consequential losses arising
    form all manner of collisions.

The above list of work is by no means exclusive and the division handles
all manner of work involving maritime, transport and trade law.

As a result of Peter’s involvement with the IMO, he has established a
network of contacts in some 150 countries with the result that the division
