He brings over eight years’ experience working within the shipping industry to the Transportation Industry Group. As an English solicitor and French Avocat, he works between our London and Paris offices and focuses on transactional matters.
He uses his strong understanding of operational and commercial constraints of the maritime sector to advise banks, alternative lenders, shipowners, and charterers on their financial and commercial transactions relating to commercial vessels, cruise ships, and superyachts.
Romain regularly advises on a wide range of commercial contracts, including shipbuilding, transport, and logistics, and management contracts. His ship finance experience includes secured and unsecured debt financings; operating, finance, structured tax leasings; bond financing; export credit agency-supported financings; vessel sales and purchases; and lease novations.
Away from the office, when he is not supporting his favorite Rugby club, Romain is a passionate reader of Dumas and other classic serial novelists.
