New Shipping Partners for Ince & Co in Dubai and Piraeus
Thursday 22 October, 2009
Ince & Co’s teams in Dubai and Piraeus have each been supplemented with the arrival of a senior shipping partner from London.
Graham Crane has transferred from London to Dubai, whilst Nick Shepherd has moved from London to Piraeus. Graham joined the firm as a partner in 2001, bringing over 20 years’ experience as a specialist shipping partner. Nick has spent the last decade in Ince’s London office and is now returning to Piraeus, where he spent five years as a partner in the 1990s. Both have a number of significant international shipping clients.
Senior partner James Wilson said: “These moves are taking place as a result of the expansion of our global shipping practice. Graham and Nick will continue to work with international clients from their new locations and will help extend our business reach in the Gulf, India and the Eastern Mediterranean region.”
Welcoming Graham to Dubai, managing partner Bob Deering, who set up the office in 2006, said: “We are very pleased to have Graham on board. His arrival boosts further the breadth and depth of the shipping expertise located at Ince & Co in Dubai”.
Jon Elvey, managing partner of Ince & Co in Piraeus, commented: “Nick was a mainstay of our Piraeus office back in the ‘90s. He is known and respected throughout the Greek shipping community. We are delighted he is returning after 10 years in London. Added to the arrival of our Greek law team at the beginning of the year, we now have five partners advising clients on a wide range of contentious and non-contentious matters.”
