The Lawyer Network is delighted to announce that Quentin Bargate of 'Bargate Murray' has joined the Lawyer Network. Quentin has joined the Lawyer Network as our exclusive Yacht Acquisition & Finance member in England.

Quentin qualified as a solicitor in 1981 and subsequently he has spent his entire career in top quality City of London law firms. Quentin heads the firm's Litigation and Dispute Resolution practice, handling all kinds of dispute from debt collections to multi-million dollar matters and is also head of the Superyacht Group. Quentin is an expert in yacht contract work and other commercial contract work. Quentin is able to bring his considerable depth and breadth of experience to bear on matters to help resolve problems and settle complex contracts quickly and cost effectively.

In 2004, Quentin fulfilled a lifetime ambition when he set up his own law firm, Quentin Bargate & Co. In 2006, he was joined by his old friend and former colleague, Andrew Murray, and the firm changed its name to Bargate Murray. The firm has since enjoyed rapid expansion. Quentin is an advocate for alternative dispute resolution (ADR), but he also deals with cases in court when required. He occasionally sits as an arbitrator.
