Every year, the Maritime Law Association of South Africa (“MLASA”) conference honours those who have contributed to South African admiralty law.  Past years’ recipients have included judiciary and prominent advocates.  Shepstone & Wylie is proud to announce that Shane Dwyer, a partner in the Shipping and Logistics practice area, has been invited by the MLASA to be their guest of honour for 2015. 

He commenced his articles with Shepstone & Wylie in 1972 and his ability and vision contributed to the Shipping and Logistics team becoming one of the foremost practice groups in the country.  Shane has, remarkably enough, been involved in most of the casualties along the South African coastline over the last 40 years.

Over the years, Shane has contributed significantly to proposed drafts of shipping legislation and acted for ship-owners and their insurers in many of our leading shipping cases.  Shane has published numerous papers on maritime and air law in specialist publications, whilst also contributing the South African chapters in two international publications on air law.

Shane is unquestionably one of the leading maritime lawyers in South Africa.

We are proud of you Shane!
