Former ship captain comes on board

Lawyer and former naval officer and ship captain, Mark Johnson, has joined the London office of Haynes & Boone LLP as a partner in its shipping practice.

Mark’s legal career has seen him advise on the construction, sale and purchase, financing, operation and ownership of all manner of vessels, with shipyards, oil companies and major banks amongst his clientele. Previously, Mark also served with the Royal Navy for 13 years, and was also captain of a patrol boat in 2005 and 2006.

Mark said of his new firm: ‘The culture is similar to my previous employment in the Royal Navy, where one is a part of something bigger than oneself and success is achieved by working as a team for a common objective. That ethos is important and in the legal sector can enable an external counsel to become a real member of the client’s team working to successfully achieve the client’s goals.’

Administrative partner of the London office Brad Richards added: ‘The addition of Mark Johnson, along with the other fine lawyers we have recruited in recent years, will allow us to better serve our clients and continue the momentum we have developed in the market.’
