Alan R. Davis

A consummate professional for complex maritime and commercial disputes

Our company faced a significant contractual dispute with a vessel operator that threatened to disrupt our entire supply chain. The situation was legally complex, deeply rooted in maritime law, and required immediate, decisive action. From our first consultation, Alan Davis demonstrated a profound command of the intricacies involved. His 17 years of experience, particularly in admiralty and commercial litigation here in New Orleans, were immediately evident. He didn't just understand the law; he understood the practical realities of port operations and the commercial pressures we were under. Alan and his team at Lugenbuhl, Wheaton, Peck, Rankin & Hubbard crafted a strategic approach that was both aggressive and pragmatic. His recognition by Best Lawyers in these specific fields was not just a title—it translated into a nuanced and highly effective legal strategy. He kept us thoroughly informed at every stage, explaining options clearly without unnecessary jargon. The result was a favorable settlement that protected our interests and preserved a critical business relationship. Alan is more than a skilled litigator; he is a strategic partner who provides exceptional service and achieves outstanding outcomes. I cannot recommend him highly enough for any serious maritime or commercial legal matter.
