Introduction
On 12 June 2024, the LSLC Young Maritime Professionals, in collaboration with HFW, will host a topical breakfast seminar at the IDRC in London. The event will also be live On-Line.
Kevin Cooper of Navig8 as well as Benjamin Joseph and Gemma Morgan from Quadrant Chambers shall focus the discussion on recent hot topics and provide a legal outlook for 2024 focusing in particular on:

- The ongoing disruptive geopolitical environment and other industry changes.
HFW partner Michael Buisset and HFW associate Caroline West, will then take the audience through a lively mock arbitration arguing both cargo interests’ and owners’ cases on liability following an attack by Houthi rebels in the Red Sea and considering the current issues there.
