As a lawyer expert in maritime law, I am approached by a maritime expert to help him draft his engagement letters or letters of mandate and the T&Cs (terms and conditions) in Tahiti, French Polynesia.
These documents are essential for his future maritime expertise missions, that is to say, transactional expertise (in the context of the sale of a vessel), judicial or amicable expertise, in the context of expertise when taking out an insurance contract, counter-expertise in the context of a dispute, or valuation expertise (inheritance, sale of a business, etc.).
These contractual documents are what will protect the maritime expert during his mission because they are what will define his mission, his obligations, those of the principal and, consequently, his potential liability.
However, in the maritime field and especially in pleasure navigation, the clientele that experts deal with has specific expectations and demands.
Protecting against potential litigation, including in the context of successive sales of the vessel, as final purchasers may take recourse action against the expert based on a prior expertise, is fundamental.
Having one's engagement letters or letters of mandate or General Terms and Conditions of Sale (T&Cs) drafted by a professional expert in maritime law and contract law is a guarantee of security and peace of mind in the context of a maritime expert's missions.
Feel free to contact Maître Florence ROMEO, lawyer expert in maritime law, practicing in this field throughout the Côte d'Azur, in the Var, South Pacific Area, Brittany, and the southwest.
