# maritime law — Legal Counsel

As Legal Counsel, 'maritime law' isn’t about knowing *all* shipping regulations; it's about rapidly identifying when a matter *touches* the sea and then knowing where to find applicable rules. Daily work often involves contract review – charterparties, bills of lading, marine insurance policies – spotting clauses needing amendment due to jurisdiction or specific vessel type. You'll advise on liability for collisions, cargo damage/loss (often Hague-Visby Rules), salvage operations, and increasingly, environmental incidents like oil spills. Think less 'master of the seas' and more ‘risk assessor with a nautical chart’.
