Friday 09 July, 2010
Ince & Co Partner Jonathan Lux has been named ‘Global Shipping & Maritime Lawyer of the Year 2010’ in the Who’s Who Legal Awards. Who’s Who Legal used the thousands of nominations it received from clients and private practice professionals in over 50 countries to identify leading individuals.
Editor in chief Callum Campbell said, “In a highly competitive field, receiving the Who’s Who Legal Shipping & Maritime Lawyer of the Year Award is an outstanding achievement. The consistently positive feedback we received from our sources across the globe reflect Jonathan’s exceptional talent and pre-eminence in the field. We have no hesitation in declaring him the leading lawyer in the world for Shipping & Maritime expertise.”
Jonathan is a leading expert in shipping and commercial law with particular expertise in bunkers and is co-author of the only legal textbook on bunkers - Fisher & Lux on "Bunkers" (now in its third edition). He has direct commercial experience in the maritime industry and in the related fields of energy, insurance, and international trade and commerce. He advises P&I Clubs, their shipowner and charterer members, and major insurers.
His experience has led him to champion the use of ADR and arbitration in these sectors, to enable people quickly and cost-effectively to put disputes behind them and get on with their business. Jonathan is a Council Member of the International Bunker Industry Association and former co-ordinator of its working group on dispute resolutions, and a Director of the London Shipping Law Centre.
Commenting on receiving this award, Jonathan said: “As a practising shipping lawyer for over 35 years, I am delighted to have won this award, based on nominations from professionals around the world. This award also recognises the strength of Ince & Co’s maritime practice, our capabilities and teamwork.”
