Our
Admiralty/Maritime Section represents clients
engaged in domestic and international shipping,
ship building and repair, stevedoring, and offshore

underwriters of the risks inherent in these
activities.
Blue
Williams’ lawyers advise clients on bills
of lading and other related matters, such as
cargo damage claims, stevedoring, and terminal
operations. Our litigators handle disputes involving
collisions, salvage and wreck removal, claims
for environmental damage, and limitation of
liability actions. The firm’s Admiralty/Maritime
Section also provides marine insurance coverage
evaluation and contract and charter drafting
and negotiating. To the extent litigation arises,
our litigators are experienced in and prepared
to handle such matters.
We
understand that the nature of the industry often
requires availability outside of regular business
hours. To address these needs, our attorneys
maintain an on-call system 24 hours a day, seven
days per week.
