Law firm Stephenson Harwood LLP has advised a private client in the negotiation of a construction contract for a 44 metre Vitters sailing yacht.
Sailing yachts built at Vitters' Shipyard regularly win global superyacht regattas, maintaining Vitters’ position as one of the key sailing yacht builders in the world. This project is a cooperation between Vitters Shipyard, Reichel Pugh (naval architecture) and Design Unlimited (interior design). The signing was publicised at the recent Monaco Yacht Show, which took place in September.
The Stephenson Harwood superyacht team continues to be involved in several other sale and purchase transactions that will close before the end of the year. The cross office team comprised Paris-based senior associate Ezio Dal Maso, as well as London-based partner Max Lemanski and associate Hayley Broome.
