Hannaford Turner LLP is a London law firm specialising particularly in ship finance, ship building, and sale and purchase.
The firm enjoys a close relationship with the Institute of International Shipping and Trade Law (IISTL) at Swansea University, and in 2019 introduced a prize for the best performing student in Swansea’s LLM module on Ship and Other Mobile Assets Finance. The prize is highly coveted; in addition to its monetary value, it also includes an internship at the firm itself.
This year’s winner was Vishesh Tyagi. Vishesh, who originally hails from India, has a law degree from Symbiosis Law School (Pune), and is currently completing his Swansea LLM in International Maritime Law.
The Prize was presented in London by Matt Hannaford, one of the founding Partners of Hannaford Turner LLP. Ece Birinci, one of the Associates at the firm, who graduated from Swansea’s LLM programme last year with distinction, was also present at the event as a great example of how the Swansea LLM degree can help students to achieve their full potential.
