Yachting & Superyacht Law
We provide comprehensive legal advice across every aspect of yacht and superyacht law. Our work as superyacht lawyers extends far beyond contracts — it requires a deep understanding of the industry, the assets themselves, and the clients who invest in them. From the early stages of financing and acquisition, to negotiating construction and refit agreements, we work alongside naval architects, designers, and shipyards to frame the design, build, and delivery requirements with legal precision.
Our role continues well into ownership and operation, advising on flagging and registration, compliance with safety and regulatory frameworks, crewing and employment matters, insurance structures, charter arrangements, and ongoing management. Should disputes arise — whether relating to construction, warranties, or operational issues — our team is well-equipped to protect your interests and achieve the most favorable outcome.
What sets us apart is not only our legal expertise but also our passion for the yachting world. We understand the lifestyle, the culture, and the complexities of this industry. We combine discretion, creativity, and strategic insight to deliver solutions that meet the unique needs of yacht and superyacht owners.
With extensive experience and international reach, we are dedicated to guiding you through the entire lifecycle of your yacht or superyacht — from the drawing board to open waters, and beyond.
WE LOVE BOATING - AND IT SHOWS!
Private Jets & Aviation
The acquisition and ownership of a private jet or business aircraft involves far more than signing a purchase agreement — it requires careful planning, legal foresight, and regulatory compliance across multiple jurisdictions. We provide end-to-end legal support, covering the entire lifecycle of an aircraft.
From the initial bidding and negotiation stages, we assist with letter of intent drafting, due diligence on technical and financial aspects, and negotiating sale and purchase agreements. We work closely with aviation experts, operators, and financial institutions to ensure that the transaction structure aligns with both operational needs and tax efficiency.
Our role extends to aircraft financing and leasing structures, including loan agreements, security interests, operating leases, and cross-border financing arrangements. We also advise on registration and flagging requirements, ensuring compliance with international aviation standards (EASA, FAA, ICAO) and local regulations.
Beyond acquisition, we support clients in the management and operation of private jets, advising on crew employment, maintenance agreements, hangarage, insurance, charter arrangements, and liability issues. We are also experienced in resolving disputes arising from aircraft defects, delayed deliveries, and contractual breaches, always with the aim of protecting our clients’ interests while preserving confidentiality.
Whether purchasing a single jet, expanding a fleet, or restructuring ownership through corporate or trust arrangements, we provide the legal certainty required to operate confidently in the aviation industry.
Fine Art, Jewelry & Collectibles
The acquisition of fine art, rare jewelry, and high-value timepieces involves not only passion but also complex legal and financial considerations. Each transaction carries risks relating to provenance, authenticity, taxation, and ownership rights. We provide comprehensive legal guidance to ensure that every acquisition or sale is secure, enforceable, and strategically structured.
Our services cover the full lifecycle of collecting:
-
Bidding & Auctions – Advising clients on auction house terms and conditions, ensuring compliance, and protecting bidders’ rights during both live and online auctions.
-
Private Sales & Negotiations – Drafting and negotiating sale and purchase agreements, conducting due diligence on provenance, title, and authenticity, and ensuring proper documentation is in place.
-
Ownership Structures – Structuring acquisitions through trusts, foundations, or corporate entities for asset protection, estate planning, and tax efficiency.
-
Insurance & Risk Management – Advising on specialist insurance coverage, loss prevention, and storage arrangements to safeguard collections.
-
Dispute Resolution – Representing clients in disputes over authenticity, restitution, or contractual breaches in both litigation and arbitration.
Our role is to provide certainty in a market that often relies on discretion and trust. Whether participating in a high-profile auction, expanding a private collection, or arranging a discreet cross-border sale, we ensure that our clients’ most treasured assets are legally protected, financially optimized, and preserved for future generations.
Sports & Entertainment Investments
Luxury is not limited to assets — it extends to sports, media, and entertainment, where prestige, influence, and financial stakes are equally high. We advise clients on structuring and safeguarding their investments in this dynamic sector.
Our services include:
-
Sports Club Investments – Structuring acquisitions of football clubs and other teams, negotiating shareholder and governance agreements, and managing compliance with league and federation rules.
-
Sponsorship & Media Rights – Drafting and negotiating sponsorship, broadcasting, and licensing agreements. For example, securing brand placements in global sports such as Formula 1, where international exposure and contractual complexity demand precise legal structuring.
-
Talent & Image Rights – Advising on contracts for athletes, celebrities, and influencers, ensuring that image rights and endorsements are properly protected.
-
Dispute Resolution – Representing clients in disputes involving contracts, sponsorships, or regulatory sanctions before both courts and arbitral bodies.
We understand the speed, visibility, and reputational impact of this industry. By combining discretion with strong legal strategies, we help clients participate in sports and entertainment with confidence — whether it’s acquiring a football club, negotiating a sponsorship, or managing high-profile endorsements.
