Maritime & Admiralty

The maritime industry is the backbone of Texas commerce, and legal challenges on the water and along the docks require attorneys who understand both maritime operations and maritime law. At Gilman & Allison, LLP, we represent maritime companies, vessel owners, terminal operators, marine contractors, and injured offshore and port workers across the Gulf Coast. With real-world maritime backgrounds and extensive litigation experience, we bring a unique perspective to both defense and plaintiff-side maritime claims.

Our firm handles commercial maritime disputes, including vessel charter disputes, pilotage issues, maritime contract litigation, cargo claims, vessel collisions, marine insurance matters, indemnity disputes, and port-operations litigation. We also pursue complex personal injury claims for Jones Act seamen, longshore workers, harbor employees, offshore personnel, and blue-water crew injured in Texas ports or offshore waters. Whether your case involves the Houston Ship Channel, Barbours Cut, Bayport, Galveston, Corpus Christi, or Gulf of Mexico waters, we protect your interests with industry-focused strategy and proven maritime knowledge.
