Foundation Chambers

Today, we celebrate the remarkable contributions of women across the maritime industry and their role in shaping a more inclusive, innovative, and sustainable future.

From maritime law and shipping to logistics, engineering, operations, and leadership, women continue to drive progress across the global maritime sector.

At Foundation Chambers, we recognize and applaud the resilience, excellence, and impact of women in the maritime sector.

Happy International Day for Women in Maritime.

We are pleased to announce the participation of our Counsel, Dan-Habu Eje, at the 2026 CMI Rio Colloquium taking place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The Colloquium convenes leading maritime law practitioners, regulators, insurers, academics, and industry stakeholders from around the world to engage on emerging developments shaping the future of maritime law and shipping.

We look forward to the valuable discussions, collaborations, and insights that will emerge from this global gathering, particularly on issues relating to maritime insurance, decarbonisation, autonomous shipping (MASS), and international maritime conventions.

If you will be attending the Colloquium, we invite you to connect with Dan-Habu Eje during the event.

Growth begins where comfort ends.

The journey to excellence requires resilience, consistency, and the courage to keep pushing forward, even when the path is challenging.

At Foundation Chambers, we believe that a growth mindset is key to personal and professional success.

We are proud to celebrate this remarkable milestone as our distinguished partners, Mojisola Jaiye-Gbenle, Adedamola Kikiowo, and Tolulope Adebayo, have been appointed and duly sworn in as Notaries Public of Nigeria.

This achievement reflects their unwavering commitment to excellence, integrity, and outstanding service within the legal profession.

Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition, and we wish them continued success in this new capacity.
