What makes a good superyacht lawyer?

As with all non contentious lawyers, attention to detail and flexibility of approach.

What do you like most about your job?

I would say the continual variety.

What one piece of advice would you give to potential yacht buyers?

For new yachts to pay attention to the reputation of the Builder, and for second hand yachts, to engage a thorough surveyor, and then take a pragmatic view of his report.
