London Shipping Law Centre 25-Year Celebration

It is not a co-incidence that at the same period Lord Donaldson’s Report on “Safer Ships and Cleaner Seas” was published in 1997.  The profound recommendations of that Report have been the core of our risk management seminars and mock trials over the years. Indeed, Lord Donaldson delivered our first Cadwallader Memorial Lecture in 1998 entitled: “The ISM Code – The Road to Discovery?” .

One of the Centre’s strengths is that it has attracted speakers and audiences from a wide range of specialisms and backgrounds. The body of our professional faculty members comprise not only the highest calibre of lawyers and academics but also experts from all sectors of the industry, to whom we will acknowledge our thanks at this auspicious event.

This landmark anniversary offers an opportunity to our Members, to our International Faculty of Speakers, to our Young Maritime Professionals, and to our Supporters, to come together to rejoice our joint successes and to learn about what the future might hold for shipping and the law.
