The lawyers at Hohenstein & Parkinson, LLP provide cogent advice on the initiation and conduct of maritime arbitration and mediation. Our background includes extensive experience with both types of proceedings.

Maritime arbitration is a highly specialized advocacy skill given the particular context of such proceedings. These matters require knowledge not only of the unique procedures but also of the dynamics of the process. The firm also assists clients with any related litigation, such as petitions to compel arbitration and petitions to confirm, as well as actions for security related thereto.

Mediation arising from maritime disputes, particularly matters in litigation, requires a different skill set, since the process is different in tone and conduct from that of maritime arbitration. Our experience includes handling numerous mediations, many of which resulted in the termination or avoidance of litigation.
