Grady Hurley, a partner in the Maritime Practice Group and co-leader of the maritime litigation, arbitration, and dispute resolution team, authored the article “Offshore Operations: State, Local and Federal Legal Complexities” published by WorkBoat on March 27, 2024. Grady outlines the complex state, federal, and maritime legal issues of offshore operations working within state waters and on the Outer Continental Shelf. He highlights the recent Palfinger decision as a prime example of the unique nature of offshore operations, where situs and state status are intertwined to determine both jurisdiction and applicable law.
