Quadrant Chambers was proud to be a silver sponsor of  London International Shipping Week 2023. Shipping is at the heart of Quadrant Chambers, and we have been a keen supporter of this important global shipping event for over 8 years.

We were very pleased to hold the first Quadrant LISW Debate: Debating new horizons in Trade Finance and Decarbonisation. 

Chaired by Chirag Karia KC, Simon Rainey KC, Rob Thomas KC, Ruth Hosking and Koye Akoni debated (1) whether the Court of Appeal were right in Unicredit Bank AG v Euronav NV and the likely wider impact on trade finance and (2) where the balance is to be struck between the stakeholders in a changing regulatory environment regarding greener shipping and decarbonisation.
