Breach of Contract

Our firm represents clients in maritime contract disputes involving vessel operations, transportation agreements, charter parties, marine services, cargo arrangements, equipment supply contracts, and other commercial maritime transactions. We assist clients in enforcing contractual rights, recovering damages, and defending against allegations of nonperformance or breach. Maritime contract disputes can significantly disrupt business operations and commercial relationships, and we work to resolve these matters efficiently while protecting our clients’ financial interests. Our attorneys also advise clients regarding contract drafting, risk allocation, and dispute prevention strategies designed to reduce future exposure.

Lien Defense

We represent vessel owners, operators, and businesses facing maritime lien claims involving repairs, supplies, dockage, fuel, crew wages, or other asserted maritime debts. Maritime liens can create immediate operational and financial consequences, including vessel arrest proceedings and interruptions to commercial activity. Our firm works to challenge improper lien claims, defend clients in admiralty proceedings, and negotiate resolutions aimed at minimizing disruption and financial risk. We also advise clients regarding lien priority issues, vessel documentation, and strategies for protecting maritime assets and commercial operations.

Salvage Claims

Our firm handles maritime salvage disputes involving claims for compensation arising from the rescue, recovery, or preservation of vessels, cargo, and other maritime property. We represent vessel owners, insurers, operators, and salvors in disputes concerning salvage awards, emergency response operations, property recovery rights, and allegations of improper or excessive salvage demands. These matters often involve urgent operational concerns and complex factual issues related to maritime safety and property preservation. We work to protect our clients’ legal and financial interests through strategic negotiation, litigation, and coordination with marine experts and insurers where necessary.
