Penningtons Manches Cooper

Penningtons Manches Cooper is a leading law firm providing high quality legal services to businesses and individuals. Our specialist yacht lawyers advise on all aspects of yacht and superyacht ownership – whether chartering, buying or building and throughout their full lifecycle, advising contentious and non-contentious matters. 

We work with owners, charterers, insurers, brokers, underwriters, yacht builders, repair yards, and industry stakeholders. We advise the companies that supply goods and services to the sector including commercial and corporate advice.  We also advise HNWI’s and family offices in the context of their wider asset portfolio, as yacht ownership continues to become a developing asset class amongst wealthy private individuals.

Our team are particularly well-known for dealing with substantial claims and complex casualties and one of the very few firms with maritime employment specialists. We have local support with offices in the UK, France, Spain, Greece and Singapore and comprehensive coverage as a member of Multilaw and the European Law Group providing multi-jurisdictional expertise.
