Maritime Law
With our in-depth knowledge of maritime law, negotiation skills and willingness to go to trial, Haglund Kelley has achieved winning verdicts and settlements for clients who have suffered injuries or property loss at sea.
Whether it’s protecting mariner’s rights under the Jones Act and maritime personal injury law, or resolving commercial matters such as maritime liens, cargo claims and environmental disputes – our admiralty lawyers are committed to achieving positive results for our clients at a cost-effective price. The firm regularly represents maritime pilots, fishing vessel owners, merchant mariners representing the Columbia River Bar Pilots, and successfully prosecuted a major rate proceeding that secured funding for the first ever dedicated helicopter service for a pilot organization in North America, substantially increasing the safety of transferring pilots to and from vessels in rough conditions in the Pacific Ocean.
