⚓ Legal Advisory for Yacht Manufacturers – Build with Certainty, Operate Internationally
The construction of modern yachts is a technical and legal discipline of the highest order.
International projects, complex supply chains, high-value custom builds and demanding clients require not only engineering precision, but legal clarity and reliability at every stage.
As a specialised legal practice, we advise yacht manufacturers on all relevant legal matters – from strategic planning and contract drafting to delivery and beyond.
Our focus: economic clarity, risk minimisation and practical legal implementation.
