Pierce Atwood’s maritime law attorneys represent New England marine construction, dredging and towage companies in connection with projects all over the world, and national, general construction companies when their projects involve maritime operations. Our work for these businesses includes the formation of corporations and other business entities, the drafting of various types of contracts including charters and towage agreements, and the financing, purchase and sale of vessels and equipment, as well as litigation. We have also assisted clients with obtaining the necessary local, state, and federal approvals necessary for construction of piers, retaining walls, and bridges, as well as harbor dredging and disposal of spoils. When necessary, the maritime attorneys consult with the firm’s corporate and tax attorneys to provide clients with comprehensive solutions.
