Challenging global economic conditions, since 2008, have put significant pressure on many shipping companies. South Square’s members have worked in this sector for many years, in recent times primarily on restructuring and insolvency cases, however we have also been instructed on cases involving financing of assets, leasing, mergers and acquisitions.
South Square is a leading set of commercial law barristers. Our members
have acted in many of the most important restructuring, insolvency,
banking, commercial, company and fraud-related disputes of recent times. We are regulated by the Bar Standards Board.
