WHAT WE DO

Maritime is among the most vital and complex of all transportation sectors. To properly serve maritime clients, our attorneys represent a diverse range of clients serving the maritime industry, including vessel operating carriers; vessel owners; maritime-related investors and financial institutions. Maritime activity is heavily regulated by numerous federal and international agencies. We counsel on regulations enforced by the Mexican Government, including tariffs and service contracts; vessel services agreements; vessel sharing agreements; charter services agreements and specialty agreements. We assist with flagging or reflagging of vessels; towing, salvage and fisheries law compliance; among others.
