Major & Grove is a Piraeus-based law firm with a strong foundation in shipping law. Over the years our firm has grown to become a full-service legal partner, addressing its domestic and international clients’ diverse needs, not only in shipping, but also in other areas of law. As an all-in-one solution law firm, Major & Grove provides expert guidance on maritime, corporate, transactional, and commercial issues, but also on civil and criminal law matters that may intersect with such activities, as well as litigation.

Our firm leverages the significant expertise of our Partners, who have held key roles in influential maritime institutions, leading shipping companies, and prominent law firms. Their profound understanding of the shipping industry, its stakeholders, and dynamics and their expertise in corporate, tax, criminal law and litigation, guides our expanding team of selected associates and trainee lawyers, enabling us to deliver top-tier legal support across a broad range of practice areas.

We comprehensively and efficiently represent our clients in sale and purchase transactions, from handling negotiations and drafting documentation, to attending delivery and registration of vessels under Greek or foreign flags. Furthermore, we advise on, negotiate and draft shipbuilding contracts, charterparties and management agreements while we are equally experienced in all aspects of ship and project financing, liaising with financial institutions and drafting and reviewing loan and security documentation.

Our practice further extends to shipping litigation and dispute resolution, including ship arrests, handling end-to-end arbitration procedures and wet and dry claims as well as coordinating complex cross-jurisdictional disputes.

At Major & Grove, we also provide expert legal representation in all aspects of criminal law, white-collar and corporate criminal defense, representing individuals and executives from Greek and international enterprises before all criminal courts and advising them on matters arising from all types of white-collar and business crime and serving their needs of robust defense and strategic counsel.
