In the area of marine disputes, the J.S. Held client base is evenly balanced between plaintiffs and defendants. Our team has significant experience providing expert witness testimony. We are known for our "teaching" – as opposed to "telling" – approach of testimony.

J.S. Held's Marine Engineering & Investigation services complement specialized expertise in marine and cargo damages which includes stock throughput, business interruption, extra expense, subrogation, insurance disputes and other global marine supply chain issues. The firm's services encompass analysis of extra expenses, business interruption and delay analysis, market valuation of agriculture commodities costs, quantum of cargo loss, subrogation, and time element impact on repair and rework to insured property for hull and marine liability.
