Hazel Brasington

Hazel Brasington has practiced in London, Hong Kong and Melbourne, Australia. Hazel's English maritime and commercial law background is a key offering in this sector, augmented by a wealth of experience in projects, transactions and cross-border dispute resolution. In its nature, Hazel's practice takes account of all geographies and often calls for deft interaction with the legal systems of other jurisdictions.

Hazel has represented ship operators, ship owners, oil majors, commodity traders, mining houses, marine insurers, investment banks, contractors, ports, industry bodies and logistics enterprises (sea, air, road and rail).

Recent transactions have included advising on the acquisition finance of prototype offshore wind project service vessels, advising on the acquisition finance of a newbuild ro-ro vessel, advising a coal terminal on berth blockage by a "dead" vessel subject to a charter chain, advising a State maritime authority on its statutory powers and acting for Japan Post on ship's sale and delivery as part of a major corporate divestment.
