REGULATORY AND LEGISLATIVE PRACTICE
We
are regularly called upon to advise industry trade groups and individual
companies on the likely impact of existing laws and proposed legislation.
We have repeatedly been asked to draft both federal and state legislation
and helped author the Cruise Industry Revitalization Act of 1996, in
addition to significant maritime tort reform measures, including limitations
on emotional distress damages and medical negligence claims. The firm
is regularly called upon to provide advice and interpretation regarding
compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, F.M.C. regulations,
the I.S.M. Code, OPA 90 and similar state law provisions, federal and
state gaming laws and cabotage restrictions.
