At Stone Chambers, John Reeder QC and Elizabeth Blackburn QC are strongly 'recommended for wet shipping matters'. Steven Gee QC, who has the gift of 'making everything seem easy', is superb for dry shipping. On the junior side, Ravi Aswani is 'quick, extremely effective, and highly competent in arbitration claims', while Tom Whitehead is singled out as 'a star in the making'. Vasanti Selvaratnam QC's shipping work centres on multimillion-pound disputes, and recently included acting in APL Panama, which resulted in the largest Lloyd's Open Form award seen in the market to date. The downturn in the shipping market has resulted in a number of instructions for Mark Jones, who is noted for his expertise in shipbuilding and ship purchasing disputes.
