Simon Gault - Maritime Arbistrator and Mediator

Simon is a qualified and professional mediator. He has specialised in mediating substantial shipping, insurance and commercial disputes. The cases which he has mediated have usually involved complicated multiparty disputes. They have concerned claims arising out of charterparties, bills of lading, marine insurance, non-marine insurance, shipping finance and commercial contracts. These disputes have raised diverse factual, legal and technical questions. They have often involved disputed claims against insurers. In the majority of disputes which he has mediated, Simon has achieved a settlement of either the whole dispute or a settlement between some of the parties to the dispute. In two cases, a settlement was achieved as a result of a non-binding recommendation which the parties asked Simon to make during the course of the mediation.
