Al Tamimi & Company’s Maritime, Aviation & Insurance practice operates at the heart of the dynamic global transportation nexus that is the Middle East. It has been uniquely developed to cater to the needs of clients who demand a global perspective while commanding an understanding and appreciation of the specific requirements of local and regional law and boasts a regional dominance and international respectability second to none.

Our clients benefit from our highly experienced and comprehensive legal team drawn from a range of jurisdictions and backgrounds, from private practice to in-house counsel for major multinational companies, who are able to provide a full range of legal services calling on their extensive experience, in-depth knowledge and contacts in the transportation sector worldwide.

We act for leading regional and international institutions involved in the transportation sector, including ship owning and chartering companies, cargo interests, P&I clubs, insurers, brokers, underwriters, banks and major carriers such as Emirates, Etihad, Air Arabia, Swissair and Singapore Airlines.

We offer expertise in all aspects of these highly specialised commercial fields, advising on cargo claims, charterparty disputes and ship arrests, complex oil and gas related disputes, aircraft asset leasing and financing, the authorisation and licensing of new transport companies, hull and cargo policies as well as on policies covering every conceivable kind of risk, including credit, professional liability, corporate liability, product liability, construction, property and personal injury.

Whether as court advocates or legal consultants, our specialist lawyers have a wealth of experience in the most complex international trade disputes. These disputes arise frequently in a region that boasts a strong maritime tradition and is enjoying significant growth in commercial activity and diversity, especially in the insurance market and aerospace sector.

We provide alternative dispute resolution solutions, act and advise in arbitration proceedings both ad hoc and in accordance with established procedural bodies such as the ICC, LMAA and SIAC and, where necessary, aggressive litigation in the local courts.

The practice remains at the forefront of developments within the region, currently advising on the revision of the statutory UAE Maritime Code and the establishment of the Dubai Maritime City, as well as other proposed infrastructural and regulatory projects.
