Winston's Maritime team is best known for:
Exceptional depth and breadth: Winston is best known as a “go-to” firm for difficult maritime problems involving U.S. Government policy, law, regulations and enforcement.
Full Service Approach: Our team, unlike many of our maritime boutique competitors, is fully integrated in the full service workings of the firm and is backed by our 400-attorney litigation department. For example, we expand on matters handled by the maritime practice, involving members of the firm’s FCPA legal team, as well as members from the firm’s appellate practice.
Significant Engagements: In recent years, we have been involved in some of the most significant engagements impacting the maritime industry. For example, we have represented a major oil spill response organization in oil pollution cost recovery litigation before the federal district court and most recently, our team has been involved in one of the largest on-going cases in history before the Federal Maritime Commission, involving Maher Terminals.
Demonstrated Thought Leadership: Members of Winston’s maritime and admiralty practice
group are regularly asked to participate as speakers within the maritime
industry, contribute as columnists for various publications
