Sedgwick's admiralty attorneys represent a wide variety of port, marine and offshore energy companies and insurers. Our admiralty practice includes vessel and rig collisions, defense of personal injury litigation, port facility and stevedore liability, products liability claims, hurricane losses, maritime lien claims, property damage, subrogation claims, and cargo losses. Our attorneys' offshore energy expertise includes matters arising from drilling, construction, personal injuries, downhole losses, contract and indemnity disputes, and offshore wind facilities. 

Our practice group is a "go team" that is ready to respond to incidents immediately after they happen. Sedgwick's attorneys initiate investigations, work with government entities, and counsel clients on urgent legal and business issues. Whenever necessary, Sedgwick also works with allied professionals such as engineers, well control specialists, environmental consultants and salvors.  Our admiralty practice has recently expanded to address the climate change concerns of our marine and energy clients.

The nature and challenges of marine and offshore operations can result in unforeseeable accidents. Our admiralty team is experienced in defending our clients against a wide array of personal injury claims including those arising under general maritime law, the Jones Act and The Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act.

In the marine environment, property losses often impose immediate threats to health, safety and the environment.  Downtime and loss of production can result in large economic losses.  Our team works with experts to immediately address property damage resulting from vessel collisions, product failures, drilling losses, fire and other catastrophic events. Our clients' business interests are our top priority.

Our Admiralty Practice Group regularly counsels energy and marine insurers as to coverage issues and policy content.  We also represent carriers in coverage and bad faith litigation. As part of Sedgwick's Insurance Division, a firmwide multidisciplinary collective of practice groups serving all facets of the insurance industry, the attorneys in the group work with some of the largest carriers in the business.  We routinely advise our clients on a wide variety of marine and energy policy forms including hull, marine general liability, protection and indemnity, maritime employers' liability, energy package policies, builders' risk, business interruption, operators' extra expense and loss of production income.
