Summary

Ninety percent of the world's goods are carried in ships, with maritime commerce affecting nearly every product bought or sold in the United States.

With the modernization of the shipping industry, as well as traditional bank finance, shipping companies have gained access to the public markets in the United States, and many are now publicly held here.

It is therefore not unusual for lawyers of all types to have exposure to maritime law concepts.
