Jos Maesen

Jos regularly acts for owners and investors on a broad range of transactions, including debt financings, portfolio deals, sale and leaseback arrangements, and alternative financing structures. He also regularly advises both buyers and sellers on the sale and purchase of various types of commercial assets (notably tankers and LNG carriers), supporting clients from initial structuring through to closing with solution-focused legal advice. In terms of contentious matters, Jos’ experience has centred on English High Court litigation in the shipping sector, including cases involving sanctions issues.

Jos trained in our London office and spent time in the Paris office on secondment. In addition to English, he speaks fluent French and Dutch and has a working knowledge of Spanish and German. Jos is also actively involved in pro bono work, including coordinating Reed Smith’s partnerships with Human for Rights Network and International Bridges to Justice.
