Maritime Law is the branch of law that deals with legal and administrative issues related to maritime transport, whether of cargo or passengers. It is easy to establish the competent jurisdiction to judge civil, criminal and labor actions in Angola, however, the definition takes on new contours when the facts occur at sea, a situation that justifies specialized intervention to better conduct the lawsuit in defense of the client’s rights and interests.
By its nature, Maritime Law covers, for example, both crimes against the financial order (Criminal Law) and topics related to transportation contracts (Civil Law) and those signed with the crew (Labor Law), which must be clearly distinguished given the specialized nature of the courts.
