Thomas Forkin

Legal Director

Thomas is an experienced commercial lawyer specialising in marine insurance, shipping, trade and transport litigation/dispute resolution, with a particular focus on bill of lading, charterparty and commodity disputes as well as marine casualty, salvage and general average.

He represents clients at international arbitrations in forums including LMAA, LCIA, LOF, GAFTA and FOSFA as well as in litigation before the Commercial and Admiralty Courts in London.  Given the inherently international nature of this work this often also involves coordinating litigation in numerous other jurisdictions around the world.

Before joining Preston Turnbull, Thomas trained and qualified at an international shipping law firm, where he remained for a further 6 years.

Thomas has particular focus on work involving Korea as well as Spain and Turkey owing to his fluency in Spanish and Turkish and where clients value his responsiveness and commercially focused legal advice.
