We regularly handle complex maritime litigation.

Cozen O’Connor has successfully prosecuted and defended arbitration proceedings in the United States and overseas.

Our attorneys assist maritime clients in all manner of marine casualty (e.g., collisions, allisions, groundings, container losses, and sinkings), as well as loss of cargo and pollution claims. We handle commercial disputes arising from charter parties, construction and shipbuilding contracts, liner service agreements, terminal and equipment leases, and other agreements unique to the maritime industry. Our attorneys also handle coverage disputes with regard to cargo, hull, and marine general liability insurance on behalf of marine insurers and insurance syndicates.
