<strong>Maritime</strong> law is the law governing all things, activities and events related with the sea. In particular, it deals with matters<br />
relating to sailors, ships and other sea craft, charter parties and maritime transport, shipowning and ship sales, maritime<br />
safety, events on the sea and marine insurance...<br />
Most legal experts, lawyers or practitioners of maritime law belong to the Association <strong>Français</strong>e de droit maritime<br />

In the event of litigation (arrest and sale of ships, cargo disputes, pollution…) or negotiations concerning maritime actions,<br />
the parties (shipping companies, brokers, P&I…) are advised and assisted by lawyers who are specialists in the sector. They<br />
