CJC is pleased to announce the appointment of two lawyers, Chiara Falasco and Carola Uva, further strengthening its Genoa office and the firm’s Italian shipping and maritime practice.

Chiara Falasco joins CJC with over 15 years of experience in shipping, transport and maritime law. She advises shipowners, yacht owners, maritime operators and insurers on a broad range of contractual, insurance and regulatory matters, including maritime disputes, casualty-related issues and cross-border litigation and arbitration.

Her experience combines private practice with several years of involvement in vessel and superyacht management, giving her valuable practical insights into maritime operations. She has also played an active role in the international shipping community, including as a member of the Board of Directors of the Luxembourg maritime cluster.

Carola Uva joins with experience in shipping and maritime law, particularly in ship sale and purchase transactions. Her work includes advising on MOAs, escrow agreements, vessel delivery documentation, ownership structures and flag registration, alongside a range of other commercial and regulatory matters. Prior to joining CJC, she practised at a maritime law firm in Genoa before moving to Dubai, where she advised on cross-border ship sale and purchase transactions and other commercial shipping matters, including charterparties, cargo claims and contractual disputes.

Enrico Vergani, Director at CJC, said: “We are delighted to welcome Chiara and Carola to our Genoa office. Their experience, together with their strong understanding of the industry and international markets, will further strengthen our offering to clients. We look forward to working with them as we continue to develop and grow our presence in Italy.”
