Who we are

Mills & Co is based in Newcastle upon Tyne and was established in 1993, providing expert legal advice to clients engaged in shipping and international trade. We have many years of experience as shipping and trade lawyers, offering a wealth of knowledge and expertise.

We are able to offer the same specialist advice in the maritime and international trade sectors as lawyers in London but with the advantage of the lower rates found outside of it.

Our client base includes P&I clubs, H&M underwriters, ship owners, operators and managers, charterers, commodity traders, oil majors, freight forwarders and shipyards.

What we do

We aim to provide work to the standards of the best of the London market at a cost which gives our clients the benefit of Newcastle’s lower overheads.
