Frank Advice
Marine Experience
Established in 1986, we represent clients in the marine, transportation and related industries. Our client base includes small, medium and large corporations. We advise on all aspects of the corporate and commercial component of our clients' business.
Marine experience
A significant part of the firm's experience and work relates to admiralty and shipping law, marine insurance and related litigation. We focus on understanding our clients' business and their needs. This is reflected in the technical and maritime experience of our lawyers, whether it be as deckhands and engineers, as in-house counsel to shipping companies, or as manager and operator of an offshore supply ship company. We apply that experience to offer our clients frank, commercially-minded advice.
Metcalf & Company is the only maritime law firm of its size east of Montreal, and accordingly a unique entity in Eastern Canada.
