Recognising the Need for Deeper Analysis

When a matter may need
another legal mind.

Consider bringing AEQUITAS into the matter when one or more of the following circumstances arise.

1

The judgment turns on a difficult legal question.

2

Several doctrines or legal regimes intersect.

3

The applicable law is unsettled, underdeveloped or open to competing interpretations.

4

A substantial judgment or record needs to be reduced to a focused legal issue.

5

The factual findings are established, but their legal consequences remain arguable.

6

The argument requires comparative or cross-jurisdictional research.

7

Counsel needs a discrete issue stress-tested independently.

8

The matter is too important to leave a difficult legal question insufficiently examined.

AEQUITAS does not take over the case.
We go deeper into the question.

A Complementary Professional Relationship

Academic Rigour. Professional Relevance.

AEQUITAS brings together academic legal research and practical experience in international maritime and commercial matters.
