What a nice ending of May that was if I …may say so!
On the upper deck of Tatham & Co’s overlooking Father Thames in the heart of The Square Mile with its magnificent views and a woow sunset, over a hundred guests from all sectors of the Shipping Industry joined in the purpose designed building and offices – particularly the entire roof top, making you feel you are on a virtual reality cruise… for the early summer party. Add the River Thames breeze, which contributed to this reality, and you have the best of venues to enjoy such an occasion!
Fine food and drinks, great networking, meeting old friends and making new was on the menu too…
After the Covid mess it was good meeting all these legal experts whom we normally meet at the London Shipping Law Centre events… That was my first exchange with Simon Tatham, who warmly greeted me with Ioanna Vitta on the deck!
Tatham is recognised as a leading firm in the maritime sector working with some of the biggest and traditional shipowners in the market all over Planet Ocean. The routinely deal with Charterparties, Bills of Ladings, MOAs, breach of contract and cargo disputes. Their services cover all aspects of shipping dispute resolution from small value claims to high profile, complex multi-jurisdictional disputes. On the Admiralty side, Tatham & Co have approximately 200 years of combined experience in dealing with major incidents, be that a grounding, collision, or fire, whether resulting in a total loss or involving salvage, on-shipment of cargo, GA, pollution or wreck removal. They are specialists when it comes to the serious issue of advising on the legal issues that arise from war, piracy and terrorism.
Tatham have grown to a team of 17, including five partners. With a strong presence in Greece and Scandinavia, they are well placed to offer the best possible service to their clients.
Tatham’s Roof party will take place in the early months of 2024 and their Greek Party is due to take place in October 2023; ink your diary accordingly.
Worth mentioning that many of Tatham & Co members have spend a considerable time down town in Piraeus, and that’s a big asset.
