Commissioning the construction of a superyacht is a substantial and highly bespoke undertaking, involving major investment, complex international contracts and multiple stakeholders across various jurisdictions.
At Teji I Cowie, we provide dedicated legal counsel throughout the entire lifecycle of your build, from initial negotiations to delivery and beyond. Whether you are commissioning a fully custom new build or a semi-custom vessel, we safeguard your interests, mitigate risk, and ensure a seamless experience from blueprint to launch.
We represent owners in negotiating tailored contracts with shipyards, ensuring balanced terms, clear milestones, financial protection and ownership rights throughout the build.
Liaising between owners, designers, naval architects, project managers and shipyards to guarantee contractual clarity and smooth collaboration.
Anticipating potential issues before they arise and resolving disputes quickly and discreetly when they do.
