About

Prior to becoming a lawyer, Adam Davis was a harbor tug pilot. He graduated from Texas A&M Maritime Academy and went to work on towing vessels and dredges on the Mississippi River. Adam is proud of his deep connection to our nation’s marine transportation system. He attended law school at Loyola College of Law in New Orleans, where he excelled academically while also working the weekends on the Mississippi River.

Adam was selected to be the Managing Editor of the Loyola Maritime Law Journal, and the brief writer and oralist for the Loyola Admiralty Moot Court team. He also completed an internship with the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Administrative Law Judges, where he focused on legal issues arising under the Longshore Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act. Adam graduated with honors and finished in the top 11% of his class. Following graduation, he was hired as an attorney by one of Louisiana’s oldest and most prestigious “big law” firms.

Adam spent almost a decade accruing thousands of hours of experience investigating, defending and litigating claims arising out of virtually every type of marine casualty. He also defended vessel owners and mariners with investigations and enforcement actions by the U.S. Coast Guard, NTSB, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement and the U.S. Department of Justice.

Adam was selected by Super Lawyers to the 2022 Louisiana Rising Star List for exhibiting excellence in the practice of law. Only 2.5% of attorneys in Louisiana receive this distinction.
