Admiralty

Puerto Rico’s geographical location and its political, monetary and legal relationship with the United States, place Puerto Rico as a key port for maritime commerce to and from the continental United States, and one of the preferred ports of call for national and international ocean-going liners and cruise ships.

Our Firm has actively represented commercial carriers, cruise ship operators, vessel manufacturers and sellers, and harbor pilots in a variety of actions, including, but not limited to, personal injury, cargo claims, environmental, mass tort, taxes, labor, product liability, insurance and in rem actions, among others.

The representation of our clients has encompassed not only active litigation in the federal courts, but also providing advice in administrative proceedings before local and federal agencies.
