Geoffrey Brunton

I was born in 1953 and live in Sevenoaks, Kent.

I read economics at the University of East Anglia before taking the legal professional exams and qualifying as a solicitor in 1980. Before moving into niche practice, I spent 6 years specialising in shipping and commodity trading matters in one of the large maritime law firms in London EC3.

In January 2000 I became a solicitor advocate and thus entitled to appear as an advocate in all civil courts in England and Wales.

I am also an accredited mediator.

My practice is primarily concerned with dispute resolution, including litigation and arbitration, although I also undertake some non-contentious work (including drafting contracts; drafting and advising on sale and purchase terms and conditions (international trade)) in the following areas:-

Commodity trading

Crude oil and oil products of all kinds
Steel
Sugar
Other dry commodities

Shipping (Dry)

Charterparty disputes
Unsafe port
Cargo claims
Ship sale and purchase
Ship arrest
Asset attachment (numerous jurisdictions)

Insurance

Marine
Non-marine

Commercial Litigation

Professional negligence (solicitors, accountants, IFAs, surveyors)
Commercial fraud
General
