Kwon & Co. has dealt with various shipping contract disputes including B/L, charter party, contract of affreightment and intermodal transport contract. 

We have abundant legal experience in advising and litigating B/L cases regarding cargo claim, cargo mis-delivery, rejection of cargo by consignee, package limitation and on-deck shipment cargo concerning the Korean Commercial Code, English Carriage of Goods By Sea Act(COGSA), US COGSA, Japanese COGSA, Chinese Maritime Law as well as international conventions, especially the Hague-Visby Rules. We have provided effective yet prompt legal services as to vessel arrest, release or objection of seizure where swift and urgent actions are required. 

Especially, in time charter disputes involving complex issues of vessel withdrawal, off-hire, additional war-risk premium, sub-hire lien and repudiation, we represented both domestic owners and charterers and numerous international shipping companies which are members of P&I clubs including Gard, Britannia, London P&I, North of England, Skuld, Standard, Steamship Mutual, West of England et al. and delivered the utmost results. 

We have also addressed cases related to the conclusion and cancellation of voyage charterparty, commencement of laytime and demurrage calculation, safe port and other issues arising under a voyage charterparty. 

Through this extensive experience, we have managed to retain top-tier legal service in charterparty disputes.
