Winston Sponsors and Charlie Papavizas Speaks at Jones Act Shipping Forum
September 28, 2017
Winston & Strawn sponsored and Maritime & Admiralty Practice Chair Charlie Papavizas spoke at the Jones Act Shipping Forum in Washington, D.C. on September 28. Charlie spoke on the panel titled "Policy and Regulation: What’s in Store in the Era of Trump," which addressed the following questions relating to the U.S. shipping sector:
- Will the new president’s pro-U.S. jobs stance favor Jones Act markets, and spur Donald Trump to make Jones Act shipping great again?
- Is some change lurking in the background that could hurt Jones Act markets—or help them?
- What role does the Jones Act have to play in 2017 when the law continues to face criticism?
Based in the firm’s Washington, D.C. office, Chalie frequently consults on the application of U.S. coastwise laws (Jones Act) to cargo, passenger, and vessel movements and investments in U.S. companies. He has extensive experience in advocacy on behalf of maritime clients before various federal agencies, including the U.S. Coast Guard, the U.S. Maritime Administration, and the U.S. Congress.
