Silver specialises in ship finance and other shipping matters, including loans, leasing, sale and purchase, building contracts, charterparties, guarantees, joint ventures, pooling and management.

He will work closely with banking and finance partners Davide Barzilai in Hong Kong, Fei Kwok in Beijing and Shanghai, and shipping dispute resolution and litigation partner Jim James in Hong Kong.

Silver is the fourth partner to join Norton Rose Fulbright’s shipping practice in the past 18 months, following Hazel Brasington in Melbourne and Brad Berman and Brian Devine in New York.
