Who We Have Fought
Our Boston maritime attorneys have gone up against a wide variety of opponents, from the smallest companies to the biggest ship companies and maritime employers in the world. We have litigated a number of high profile maritime law cases, such as the sinking of the F/V ANDREA GAIL and the hit and run collision between the M/V VIRGO and the F/V STARBOUND. Both cases drew international attention; the Andrea Gail case provided the basis for the book and film, The Perfect Storm. We also handled the case involving the sinking of the clamming vessel the F/V CAPE FEAR – that sinking was in the book The Sea’s Bitter Harvest by Douglas Campbell.
