FAQ

Is CrewRights a law firm?

CrewRights provides information and document-preparation support. We organise relevant materials, clearly outline the situation, and prepare professional draft wording for your use. Matters requiring legal advice or formal representation fall within the remit of qualified professionals in the relevant jurisdiction.

All communication remains under your control. CrewRights does not contact employers or third parties directly, we prepare professional draft emails or letters for your use.

CrewRights supports yacht and commercial crew operating under white-listed flag states. As crew contracts and employment frameworks vary by flag, contract terms, and place of work, our service focuses on clear documentation and structured preparation. Matters requiring legal advice must be addressed by qualified professionals in the relevant jurisdiction.

To ensure an accurate and efficient review, we work with clear, usable records. The following documents and information are typically required:

  • SEA / contract, including any addendums or amendments

  • Payslips or pay summaries

  • Bank statements or payment confirmations

  • Leave records, rotas, or timesheets, where relevant

  • Relevant messages or emails

  • A concise timeline of events, in your own words

 

Typical turnaround is 2–5 working days after you submit the assessment and provide the available documents. If something is urgent (e.g., final pay timing, upcoming flight, or contract deadline), flag it in the form and we’ll prioritise where possible.
