Bargate Murray—Dominic Bulfin

Ship, yacht & aviation expert comes on board

Luxury asset law firm Bargate Murray has welcomed associate Dominic Bulfin to the team.

Dominic joins the firm after four and a half years with Clyde & Co, where he worked in the ship, yacht and trade finance team. He said: ‘I am delighted to announce my move from the ship, yacht and trade finance team at Clyde & Co to Bargate Murray where I look forward to building on my existing maritime litigation and finance experience with a particular focus on the yachting and private aviation spaces. Sailing, in particular, has been a lifelong passion of mine and to be able to combine work and play really is a dream.’

Senior partner Quentin Bargate also said: ‘We extend a warm welcome to Dom as a valuable new addition to our highly regarded superyacht, dispute resolution and aviation teams. Dom is a keen sailor, and literally “knows the ropes” when dealing with maritime as well as aviation and dispute resolution matters.’
