Maritime and Admiralty Law
Our Maritime and Admiralty team provides comprehensive counsel regarding the broad range of issues that arise in the maritime, transportation, and oil and gas industries. From international shipping regulations and environmental issues to litigation and commercial contracts, our team is focused on providing practical solutions that advance our clients’ business interests and protect their assets.
Our practice traces its history through predecessor firms that have served the international shipping community since 1883. Our clients have included leading United States, overseas, and multinational ship and rig owners, operators and charterers; ship mortgagees; a major classification society; hull underwriters and protection and indemnity clubs; financial institutions; major trading and oil companies; multinational grain houses; governments and agencies; offshore drilling contractors; offshore energy exploration, production and transportation businesses; ship brokers; ship registries; shipyards; and construction and oilfield service companies.
We have developed close working relationships with experienced maritime counsel in most of the principal maritime jurisdictions of the world, and we are able to call on that network to assist clients with multi-jurisdictional issues that require a coordinated effort across national boundaries.
