The economy of the Gulf Coast is fueled by the offshore drilling and maritime activities that are so essential to the Coast’s survival. Unfortunately, that commerce can often harm those actors who animate it, whether in a physical or an economic manner.Smith & Fawer attorneys are attuned to the particular challenges maritime litigation presents and have litigated cases involving the following:
- Representation of a local bulk liquid terminal facility in a complex environmental suit;
