Clive’s training in marine casualty case handling was with a leading law firm in London, and thereafter Clive worked in Hong Kong, with top law firms for 20+years, specialising in marine casualty matters.

The company
Hong Kong is our existing gateway to the surrounding area and expansion will follow anticipated demand. CCL is not a law firm. It is a commercial claims handling unit which will grow in the casualty and contractual aspects of the shipping industry.
We have extensive experience and an emphasis on casualty claims outcomes. Clive has a long history in the immediate aftermath of an incident, including investigation, claims arising and potential liability mitigation. CCL will handle and oversee the resolution process of marine casualty and insurance claims from inception to conclusion via commercial settlement. Litigation project management is also possible case by case. We have excellent law firm contacts. CCL will also work professionally with other claims consultancies to resolve matters.
Clive is committed to maintaining long established, tried and tested resolution techniques to modern challenges. The commercial approach to traditional legal problems has always offered a beneficial alternative. Early and experienced intervention in marine casualty and related claims scenarios will often reduce and eliminate costly and lengthy disputes. Legal back up is a phone call away, if needed, with distinguished lawyers pre-selected and standing by to assist CCL and the Client.
Time spent charge out rates, fixed price work (or hybrid rates) will be considered, as will sometimes as an alternative on a pre-agreed ‘no cure - no pay’ basis in certain cases. The CCL Client base is ship-owner friendly with insurers and the P&I Club at the fore. You are most welcome to ask us to briefly review any claim in complete confidence and without initial financial commitment, so that we can hopefully make a business proposal to you.
Clive has dealt with major maritime cases for several decades. We deal with marine casualty cases across the board, medium, large and sometimes small, including collision, salvage, wreck removal, fire, explosion and pollution cases. We have Master Mariner and Marine Engineer associates and an extensive, global network of other specialists. We are ready, willing and able!
