CJC appoints Law, Jackson as new directors

Campbell Johnston Clark (CJC) has announced that Kate Law and Neil Jackson have become directors in the international maritime law firm with effect from 1 January 2025.

Bringing the number of CJC partners to 22, across offices in London, Newcastle, Singapore and Miami, the appointments exemplify the company’s commitment to promoting from within. Now one of the leading firms focusing solely on maritime law and celebrating 15 years of practice this year, CJC’s scope covers, marine casualty investigations, shipping litigation, marine insurance and international trade as well as corporate, transactional and finance work.

Based at the firm’s London office, Kate Law has extensive experience in shipping litigation, particularly in ‘wet’ shipping, including collision and salvage claims, and has also focused on charterparty and bill of lading disputes. Having joined CJC from an international insurer, her route to company partner level started as a paralegal, progressing through her traineeship and subsequent rise to associate and then managing associate. Law also works alongside the firm’s transactional team, advising on contractual drafting, sale and purchase, ship recycling and MOA disputes, and is a member of CJC’s regulatory advisory team.

Neil Jackson has gained experience in a broad range of shipping disputes since joining
