Laurence joins from his role as partner at Sach Solicitors. Before qualifying as a solicitor, he spent 14 years at sea serving on a variety of ship types, including bulkers and tankers with Ocean Fleets, moving to offshore supply vessels and anchor handlers in the North Sea. Coming ashore, he gained a First Class Honours degree in Nautical Studies and then worked as a claims executive at the West of England and Skuld P&I Clubs. Laurence is currently completing the necessary courses and sea time required by the MCA to revalidate his certificate of competency, giving him hands on experience of the latest electronic ship systems.
Chris Beesley, Chief Executive Officer of C Solutions Ltd said: “I am very pleased to welcome Laurence to the firm. He brings a wealth of expertise, combining his experience as a mariner with a legal practice advising ship owners, managers, insurers and P&I Clubs on the full range of wet and dry shipping issues. Our team has grown rapidly this year, with Laurence’s arrival following the appointments in Asia of Clive Reed and Clive Beesley in March and April 2012 respectively.”
