Legal adviser

2020-11-23T11:20:00+00:00

The International Salvage Union’s (ISU) long-standing legal adviser, Rob Wallis, consultant to, and former partner of international law firm, Hill Dickinson, is to retire from the position in early 2021. The Executive Committee of the ISU has selected Richard Gunn, partner of international law firm, Reed Smith LLP, to take on the role.

The timing of Mr Wallis’ move is to be determined but it is expected that the two will begin their handover towards the end of this year with Mr Gunn taking up the position in the first quarter of 2021.

Mr Gunn is Reed Smith’s global head of marine casualty. He is a qualified master mariner and served in the merchant navy for 12 years before coming ashore to work in shipping operations. He then trained as an English solicitor and qualified in 1996.
