Chaffe McCall was proud to have maritime attorneys Hal Watson, Kenneth H. Tribuch, and Alexander DeGiulio attend Tulane’s 31st Biennial Admiralty Law Institute last week, where Alex also served as a speaker presenting on “Admiralty Alphabet (Rules A – G).” This premier gathering remains the oldest and largest CLE program dedicated to maritime law, bringing together leading practitioners, scholars, and industry professionals from around the world.
