Goush heads the firm’s marine casualty response team and “wet” shipping practice.

Prior to embarking on a career in law, Goush was a sea-going officer for 8 years during which time he served on board general cargo vessels, container vessels and bulk carriers. His invaluable experience at sea and sound legal knowledge has allowed Goush to carve a niche for himself in the technical and “wet” side of shipping.

Goush has been involved in a number of major casualties in the region involving, collisions, groundings, fires, cargo damage and loss of life. He is experienced in dealing with all issues arising from casualties including salvage, general average, tonnage limitation, statutory/criminal liability and environmental issues. Goush’s experience in dealing with the regional maritime authorities and practical knowledge of how things work in the region enables him to provide clients with swift and practical assistance following a casualty.      

Goush is also regularly instructed to handle and investigate petrochemical contamination cases as well as oil/chemical related disputes for oil majors, P & I Clubs and shipowners.

Goush has been praised by the Asia Pacific Legal 500 for being ““knowledgeable in dealing with collision and other casualty work”.
