Faz is renowned for his ability to handle all aspects of Admiralty work, from collisions, salvage, total losses, groundings and shipboard fires to general shipping disputes. He is particularly known for his expert advice in the highly charged atmosphere following a maritime casualty. Faz regularly advises CEOs and senior management from shipowning companies in relation to strategic issues.
Faz has acquired a well deserved reputation in sensitive and complex matters. This was reflected recently in his handling of the ‘Prestige’ casualty, for which Ince was awarded “Shipping Team of the Year” (2004 Global Legal Business Awards). The 2006 Chambers “Client’s Guide to the UK Legal Profession” also praised Faz’s leadership of the team on the “high-profile grounding of the Tropic Brilliance.”
Faz has strong industry links with Norway, Germany, the Middle East, India and the Far East. He is also a fluent Hindi speaker.
