    What exactly must they have done before? Because it is clear that a single person cannot have done what you ask, whatever that may be. A team of people, that is to say a naval technical office, can be found easily. But not even an independent technical office can say "that boat you see floating there is my project." That can only be said by the technical office of a shipyard.
    You better focus your demand and you will be able to find more concrete answers. What should the, or those, who supervise that design do, what responsibilities should they assume? One cannot take responsibility for a calculation if he has not made that calculation with what there is no such supervision, but the realization of the calculations.
    Are you looking for a Project Manager? Well that's something different, easier to get.

    I never said I was looking for a single person. I'm looking for a Name, a Company or a Brand. I'm sure that an NA will have their own team, like most NA's do!
    Laurent Giles was started by John Laurent Giles.
    Although he has since passed, his company and legacy lives on.
    Is there others like that out there that now assist in LMY Design & Concept Development or just them?

    I have not worked on any of their recent projects, but have worked with Baron Rohl on some very large yacht projects that he managed. He has quite a number of them to his credit. His previous company was called Owners Agent.

    For LMYD, probably one of the most famous / well known names (much more so than Laurent Giles) would be Feadship - they provide re-fit services, so they might be happy to assist your team?
    Feadship | Unrivalled quality throughout the circle of life https://www.feadship.nl/refit-and-services

    You could also put forward Lateral Naval Architects - they seem to have a good reputation with large yachts. They started off originally as Nigel Gee & Associates 30+ years ago, with 2 partners, a secretary and contract draughtsmen occasionally as required (I was one of these for a while back then).
    And they have come a long way since then.

    I mentioned Malcolm McKeon earlier - I think he had also started off with Ed Dubois originally before branching out on his own.

    The world knows Feadship, market leaders, but they are their own "Federation" of designers, builders, engineers and painters, and from the outset it would be a conflict of interest to contact them and any other "all in one" designers/builder teams like them.
    We're looking for designers only, that are free to help, move between projects, oversee the design, tweak it if need be and lend their name to the project.

    The other two you posted are gold! Thank you!
