LONDON – INTERNATIONAL MARITIME LAW SEMINAR

The International Maritime Law Seminar, now in its 14th year, will take place in London at Gibson Hall on 3 October 2019. With an average attendance of more than 250 Insurance and Maritime Law specialists, the International Maritime Law Seminar has grown from a small event to one of the most heavily anticipated legal seminar in London.

One more year, San Simon & Duch will co-host the event together with different leading international maritime law firms coming from different jurisdictions.

Our colleague Luis de San Simón will participate in the very interesting Panel discussion – “Issues and Solutions Arising from IMO 2020 ULSFO Requirements”.
