HFW Shipping Law Review

We are delighted to provide a link below to the electronic copy of the 1st edition of the Shipping Law Review, an important new legal book for the shipping sector, edited by HFW.

The book will be of use for handling shipping disputes in a range of jurisdictions, as the volume contains a summary of key shipping law provisions in more than 40 countries. HFW has contributed the chapters on Australia, China, England & Wales, France, Hong Kong and Switzerland. The firm has also co-authored chapters on the shipping law of Greece and Singapore.

Additionally, we have sought contributions from leading firms on the law of the other major maritime states. The book covers key flag states, the countries where most shipping companies are located and the law of the major shipbuilding nations, along with other jurisdictions.

HFW has also written chapters on important developments affecting the global shipping industry in relation to piracy, marine insurance, shipbuilding, logistics, and competition and regulatory law, which we hope will prove useful to you.

We have tried to coordinate as much as possible with the other contributing firms, but inevitably we expect some duplication in the distribution of both this electronic version and some hard copies and apologise in advance if you receive multiple copies of the book. I hope it won’t affect your positive view of it.

To download the eBook or PDF version of the entire Shipping Law Review, please click here.

The electronic copy of the book is compatible with computers, laptops, iPads, Kindle, smartphones and other e-Reading devices. Clicking on the link will direct you to a registration page where you will be asked to provide your name, organisation and email address. After completing the registration, you will receive an email containing information for the download.

We will be producing a second edition of the book, due out in 2015, and would be very pleased to hear of anything you think we should add to the next edition, or of any suggestions you may have for improvements.
