HFW Partners recognised in Lloyd's List Top 100 Most Influential People in Shipping 2014

Lloyd's List has just published the fifth annual report of the Top 100 Most Influential People in Shipping and we are delighted that two HFW Partners have again been recognised in the Top 10 lawyers list.

Senior Partner Richard Crump, included in the list for the second year, is cited as having "surprised the industry" with his relocation to Singapore, but it is a move that has been recognised as underlining the firm's commitment to the continuing growth of the maritime sector in Asia.

Meanwhile, Partner James Gosling is listed for the fourth year in relation to his recognised position as an expert in handling maritime piracy incidents and, more recently, advising on the impact on the payment of ransoms of recent changes to UK terrorism legislation.
