With my practice focused in the areas of Marine, Energy, and Natural Resources, I have counseled clients on a range of commercial, regulatory, and litigation disputes. I have been involved with significant maritime casualty claims, maritime and non-maritime personal injury, cargo damage, and commercial contract disputes. I have also advised companies on compliance with the laws and regulations of the US Coast Guard, the US Customs and Border Protection, Office of Foreign Assets Control, US Department of Transportation, and environmental enforcement under OPA 90, CERCLA, and the CWA.
