AMG Mylonas & Associates at London International Shipping Week 2025: Strengthening Our Global Maritime Presence

We are proud to share that our Managing Partner Andreas Mylonas, represented AMG Mylonas & Associates at London International Shipping Week 2025 (LISW25), held from 15 to 19 September 2025 in London, United Kingdom.

LISW25 celebrated its 12th anniversary as a premier biennial gathering of the global shipping and maritime community. Over the course of the week, the event hosted more than 350 official industry sessions, seminars, receptions, and networking functions across London, drawing thousands of shipping professionals, legal experts, regulators, government representatives, and industry stakeholders.

Key Highlights & Themes from LISW25

The Headline Conference, held at the headquarters of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), brought together up to 750 senior shipping and governmental figures to debate current trends, regulatory challenges, and industry strategy.

Among many thematic strands, key discussions centered on:
• Decarbonisation, alternative fuels, and achieving net-zero targets, including the launch of reports such as “Breaking the Carbon-Neutral Fuel Deadlock.”
• Technology, AI, and digital transformation in maritime operations, governance, and risk management.
• Geopolitical risk, supply chain resilience, and global trade dynamics, particularly in light of evolving trade routes and regional security challenges.
• Human capital, workforce development, and crew welfare, through forums focused on how the maritime sector can attract, upskill, and retain talent for future challenges.
• Legal and insurance implications of the green transition, including sessions on liability, regulation, and contract re-drafting in an era of new fuels and technologies.

Andreas’ Contributions & Strategic Engagement

During the week, Andreas participated in high-level panels, sideline meetings, and networking receptions that aligned directly with the core practice areas and strategic direction of AMG Mylonas & Associates. His engagement focused particularly on:

• Advisory exchange with international law firms, maritime insurers, shipowners, and regulatory bodies, strengthening our cross-jurisdictional network and deepening our insight into evolving legal frameworks.
• Monitoring regulatory trends, especially those shaping the legal and compliance infrastructure around new fuels, emissions obligations, and environmental litigation in maritime contexts.
• Exploring collaborative opportunities for maritime clients and institutional partners, including ship finance, charter party matters, liability structuring, and cross-border dispute resolution.

Knowledge capture and dissemination: Andreas will be integrating key insights and best practices derived from LISW25 into our firm’s legal briefs, client advisories, and internal training modules to maintain a competitive edge for our clients.
