Law Hired

Maritime / Admiralty practice operations

Maritime / Admiralty software built around the dates, records and paperwork of the work

Maritime claims move quickly: a vessel can sail before a lawyer arrives, a cargo claim has a short notice requirement and a seaman’s injury follows its own regime. The workspace holds the charter, the laytime, the cargo or injury claim, any arrest and the limitation action.

Dates it keeps for you

Each of these is counted from a date your team types, placed in the matter calendar, and confirmed by the responsible attorney.

01

Cargo claim notice and suit

Notice of loss and the suit period under COGSA are counted from delivery and calendared.

02

Seaman and longshore injuries

Notice and claim periods for each regime run from the injury date.

03

Arrest, security and release

The dates of arrest, posted security and release are tracked against the vessel.

04

Limitation of liability

The filing date for a limitation action is counted from the first written claim.

What the matter holds

Typed records, not a narrative note: each fact is entered once and every calculation, form and document reads from it.

01

Charter parties

Parties, rates and the clauses that allocate time and risk.

02

Laytime and demurrage

Events recorded as they occurred, with laytime and demurrage calculated from the charter terms.

03

Cargo claims

The cargo, the damage, the survey and the notice given, with the date of delivery from which the periods run.

04

Injuries

Seaman and longshore claims with the medical record and the benefits paid.

05

Salvage and general average

Contributions and security among the parties at risk.

Prepared for you

Forms are the agency’s own PDF, filled from the record. Documents are prepared from the same rows for the attorney to edit.

What it does not do

  • Laytime figures come from the charter terms and the events as typed; the platform does not infer a statement of facts.
  • Statutory periods are reference data an attorney verifies.

How the legal content here is checked

This page describes the software; no attorney is named as its reviewer, so none is shown. Behind the maritime / admiralty workspace, each deadline rule, limitation period and legal figure is stored with its citation and is recorded as verified only once a named attorney has confirmed it, with that attorney's name and the date; showing that record beside every rule on screen is still in progress. The coverage page counts how many are verified, by practice area and state.

What you can hold us to

Law Hired is practice software, not a law firm or legal-advice service

Every date and figure is counted from what the firm enters and verified by the responsible attorney

Law that changes is reference data with its citation, checked by an attorney before it is relied on

Availability is described separately from production verification

Questions firms ask

Does it calculate demurrage?

Yes, from the recorded events and the charter’s laytime terms. The calculation is stored with its inputs.

Can it track cargo-claim notice?

Notice of loss and the suit period are counted from the delivery date and placed on the calendar.

Does it handle a vessel arrest?

It tracks the arrest, the security posted and the release, with the papers prepared from the record.

Does Law Hired give maritime / admiralty legal advice?

No. Law Hired is practice software. It records, calculates and prepares from what the firm enters, and the responsible attorney verifies every date, figure and document before anyone relies on it.
