Â
Ronel Snyman, who qualified as a lawyer in 2001, has over four years in-house experience as legal manager for a major shipping group in Europe dealing with all legal aspects arising from shipowning, management and operations.
John Champion, head of the firm's South East Asia marine group said: "The firm has been involved in many of the major casualties in the region since the office was established in Singapore in 1991. The strategic position of Singapore as a maritime trade and services hub, coupled with its growing attractiveness to international shipowners compels us to continue expanding our team to provide a full service to our clients in the region and internationally. Captain Ewen's expertise in investigating marine casualties combined with Ronel's practical in-house legal experience allows us to deliver a broader based legal response to our clients, and enhances our reputation as a first tier choice for significant marine casualties in the region."  [14/02/08]
