Paul was mentioned in the most recent edition of “The Law Of Tug and Tow and Offshore Contracts” by Simon Rainey Q.C. – “It remains only for me to thank those who have played a role in this third edition...Paul Dean of HFW, one of the leading and busiest practitioners in the field of offshore contracts and with whom I have had the good fortune to work on some of the knottier problems of the various BIMCO forms, who very kindly read through and commented upon Chapters 4 and 5 on the “Towcon”, “Towhire” and “Supplytime” forms and gave me the benefit of his great experience and sagacity...”
