Location

The firm’s success is as much due to its lively and commercial approach to its work as to its commitment to excellence of product at reasonable cost.

The partners attach great importance to providing a quality personal service, ensuring that clients’ needs are met as and when they arise. Working very much as a team, the partners draw on each other’s experience in different fields.

The firm has a worldwide client base which includes ship owners, charterers, P&I and FD&D Clubs, commodity houses, logistics providers, brokers and insurance. Also excellent relationships are maintained with many law practices around the world.

“I have been working with this firm for years and they quickly became my go-to firm despite having access to much 'better' and bigger firms. The partners in this firm are humble, respectful and genuinely care to understand the client's business. They are extremely hands on and they get as involved in their client's matters as a junior solicitor would in the bigger firms.” (Legal500)

“All the members of the team are extremely competent to deal with any difficult or challenging situation. They are very direct, which is what we like the most.” (Legal500)

“This firm is unique in that clients get the benefit of a smaller firm (flat structure, more cooperation between partners, sensible hourly rates, etc.) but the quality of the advice is as good as you would expect from a ‘top’, tier 1 commodities firm. It is always a pleasure to work with them.” (Legal500)

“While working with them you feel their profound experience in this sphere, it becomes obvious that they know international trade in agricultural products inside out, have clear understanding of the legal mechanisms that can be used in resolution of international disputes.” (Legal500)

“This firm is indefatigable in pursuing its clients cases. It is innovative legally and has established many important precedents in fields such as anti-suit injunctions and the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.” (Legal500)

“Efficient, dynamic and streamlined team with strong partner engagement.” (Legal500)

“A small boutique firm with great dedication. Very quick turnaround of questions. Clear and honest advice on the strength of a case.” (Legal500)

“Jackson Parton leaves a very good impression of its work and attitude to clients. I appreciate their manner to do their best to provide an exclusive service. It is very easy to work with them, as they have an extremely good understanding of international law and shipping." (Legal500)

“Small and always ready to go team. Fast and efficient replies.” (Legal500)

“Jackson Parton always performs to a high level.” (Legal500)
