Superyacht Construction Lawyers

We are proud to have represented owners and shipyards in the construction of some of the world’s most prestigious superyachts.

We advise on the full life span of the project, from the design phase all the way through to physical delivery.

Whether you are concerned to ensure your yacht design is unique by protecting the intellectual property, or you wish to structure your asset in a tax-efficient and confidential ownership model, we are here to help.

We often advise on the following:

• The bid phase, to ensure the best commercial terms are achieved whilst preserving confidentiality;
• Design Contracts and the intellectual property in your yacht;
• The Construction Contract itself;
• Tax-efficient ownership structures, which also protect the owner’s privacy;
• Ancillary supply contracts;
• The technical and legal requirements required of new superyachts; and
• Existing owners on re-fits and conversion projects.

Our client base includes several prestigious, Northern European shipyards.
