Egorov Puginsky Afanasiev & Partners advises clients on all aspects of maritime law and in most foreign jurisdictions.

Our team helps clients on issues involving breach of charter-party disputes, cargo and bills of lading claims, arrest of vessels and cargoes, marine insurance claims, collision, salvage and environmental liabilities.

Since 1994 we have acted on behalf of many leading ports, shipowners, marine creditors and insurance companies in Russian arbitration courts, and in foreign courts, including Argentina, Australia, Canary Islands, Cyprus, Ethiopia, French Polynesia, Germany, Greece, Italy, Latvia, Mauritania, Namibia, the Netherlands, Panama, South Africa, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States.

We have represented maritime creditors and debtors in vessel seizures and other disputes in over twenty foreign jurisdictions, as well as in Russian ports, from St. Petersburg, to Sochi, to the Russian Far East.
On the non-contentious side, we advise on contractual arrangements for construction, financing and registration of vessels, customs and licensing, and documentation relating to charter-parties and bills of lading.
