The offshore activites in the North Sea, including the exploration and production of gas and oil and the construction of wind farms knew an explosive growth over the past decade. This trend will continue in the coming years. One of the objectives is to double the additional green electricity capacity by 2025 through the construction of wind farms in the North Sea.

A large number of parties are involved in the realisation of these offshore projects, such as constructions, maritime contractors, governments, shipping companies and maritime suppliers. The agreements are often based on the standards drawn up by the industry (Bimco, Fidic, Logic), which are then adapted and completed on the basis of specific projects. Due to their long term, maintenance contracts require special attention, whereby legal input is no superfluous luxury.

Leeward's specialisation in maritime law offers players in the offshore installation market an ideal partner to advise on the risks in this sector and the application of these special agreements. Our intention is to turn the risks into creative legal solutions.

Should problems arise during the execution of these projects, Leeward can assist you in the settlement of disputes - including arbitration proceedings - in this offshore niche.
