Global, sector-focused law firm HFW has again been ranked by The Times as one of the UK’s top maritime practices.

The Times noted HFW’s sector expertise and its involvement in complex, high-value matters, and referenced independent data that shows “HFW has a higher win rate in the English commercial court than any other leading litigation firm”.

HFW is also ranked as a leading practice in commercial disputes and insurance.

The rankings are based on a survey of almost 4,000 solicitors and barristers across England, Wales, and Scotland.

HFW has been ranked every year since The Times first published its report.

HFW’s market-leading global shipping practice comprises more than 220 shipping lawyers and Master Mariners throughout the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Asia Pacific, making it the largest specialist shipping team of any international law firm. The team advise clients across the industry on the full range of dry shipping, admiralty and crisis management, and transactional matters.

HFW has more top-tier rankings for shipping in legal directories Chambers and The Legal 500 than any other law firm.
