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.

Famous quotes containing the word structure:
“The verbal poetical texture of Shakespeare is the greatest the world has known, and is immensely superior to the structure of his plays as plays. With Shakespeare it is the metaphor that is the thing, not the play.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“Man is more disposed to domination than freedom; and a structure of dominion not only gladdens the eye of the master who rears and protects it, but even its servants are uplifted by the thought that they are members of a whole, which rises high above the life and strength of single generations.”
—Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)
“When a house is tottering to its fall,
The strain lies heaviest on the weakest part,
One tiny crack throughout the structure spreads,
And its own weight soon brings it toppling down.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
