The way boats and mooring berths are bought and sold is evolving rapidly. Transactions are becoming more international increasingly more commercial, and often more flexible in structure than traditional legal processes were designed for.
At Yachting Lawyers, we recognise that many clients need practical marine expertise, commercial guidance, and strategic advice that sits alongside but does not always require regulated legal services.
In response, we have developed a modern business model that allows us to provide specialist marine consultancy and yacht advisory services outside the framework of a regulated law firm. This gives clients access to more flexible and commercially focused support.
This means that through Yachting Lawyers we can assist with matters such as:
- Guidance on vessel sales and purchases
- Advice on berthing and mooring arrangements
- Marine business and transaction strategy
- Yacht Registrations
- Charter and Syndicate ownership expertise
- Contractual and commercial insights on marine matters
- Negotiation support and deal structuring
- Review of marine transactional documents and drafting of contracts
- Practical affordable advice based on over 20 years marine industry experience.
Where a matter involves regulated reserved legal activities, those services are delivered through Keystone, a fully authorised and regulated law firm where Hannah Cash, our Founder and MD, is also a Partner.
This approach ensures that clients benefit from:
- Specialist marine support and yacht transaction expertise through Yachting Lawyers
- Flexible, commercially focused advice outside a traditional law firm structure
- Fully regulated legal services when required, via Keystone.
In short, our aim is simple: to ensure you receive the right expertise in the right structure, while maintaining the highest professional standards.
Yachting Lawyers remains a valuable, specialised, and responsive resource to the marine market, while regulated legal work is simply handled through the appropriate structure.
We believe this model reflects the realities of today’s marine sector and allows us to continue supporting clients in a way that is practical, responsive, and tailored to how the industry now operates.
We are excited to be delivering this new style of business structure and look forward to servicing the needs of our clients.Â
