As already indicated it is the aim of all the associates in the network to exchange work and information on a priority basis amongst the associates in the network. This of course does not bar the associate/member from taking work outside the network, nor is there any compulsion to give work to the associates within the network. By becoming a part of Shippinglawyers.NET the associate does not lose its independent identity, but is strengthened since it is backed by all the associates in the network. But preference should be given on a priority basis to the associates within the network, in case an associate concerned is seeking to represent their clients in the jurisdiction in which the associates in the network exist, if in the associates opinion the concerned associate is capable of effectively dealing/handling the matter (though taking in view our associates expertise there is no room left for doubt about there expertise).
Associates in the network are selected very carefully and all admitted associates / members have to pass through a strict procedure and only those are selected who satisfy the criteria laid down by the network.
Shippinglawyers.NET is not a gathering of any law firms but is a one of its kind network who are the leader field of in maritime law wherein all its members are recognised and known for quality service.
