Structure
Ince & Co’s structure is a little different from its peers’ with the firm divided by sectors rather than splitting the lawyers into practice areas. In practice, this means any lawyer can be called upon to serve in any area. Consequently, the firm develops generalists rather than individuals pigeonholed into particular specialisms.
Ince & Co’s shipping practice handles every aspect of maritime law, including collisions, salvage, charter party, carriage of goods, ship finance, work-out, pollution and most prominently in recent years piracy acting on some of the high-profile piracy cases in Somalia, the Niger Delta and the Malacca Straits.
The firm’s second cornerstone practice is insurance and reinsurance, which has built a strong reputation. The client base encompasses all manner of insurance buyers, as well as many of the most discriminating insurance and reinsurance companies and Lloyd’s syndicates.
Ince & Co's further five practice areas: aviation, business and finance, commercial disputes, energy and offshore, and international trade. In the aviation legal sector, Ince & Co client base includes airlines, operators, regulators, manufacturers, airports and their trade bodies, insurers, reinsurers and insurance trade associations.

Famous quotes containing the word structure:
“A committee is organic rather than mechanical in its nature: it is not a structure but a plant. It takes root and grows, it flowers, wilts, and dies, scattering the seed from which other committees will bloom in their turn.”

“Vashtar: So it’s finished. A structure to house one man and the greatest treasure of all time.
Senta: And a structure that will last for all time.
Vashtar: Only history will tell that.
Senta: Sire, will he not be remembered?
Vashtar: Yes, he’ll be remembered. The pyramid’ll keep his memory alive. In that he built better than he knew.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
