International Shipping Law
INTRODUCTION
Delegates spend Two weeks of intensive and in depth study at the leading research institute in maritime law. The knowledge, experience and practical insight of our speakers ensures issues will be rigorously examined, both formally through case-studies and Q&A sessions and informally out of class with other delegates. On this course we have had delegates from major shipping law firms, maritime operators, insurers and P&I Clubs while networking with colleagues, industry experts and important practitioners in the field during social events.
