Stacey Norstrud

Stacey Norstrud’s passion for maritime law comes naturally. Growing up on the Gulf Coast, she spent as much time as she could on the water, whether scuba diving, competing in international sailing regattas, boating, and paddleboarding. As an attorney, Stacey has spent more than 25 years focused on Jones Act defense and maritime-related civil litigation. A smart advocate and accomplished litigator, Stacey also brings a depth of experience in areas such as personal injury, insurance coverage, premises liability, energy, construction, international business trade, and international salvage disputes.

Throughout her career, Stacey has played a large role on the front lines of several major marine casualty cases and significant maritime cases, including the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and Thunderhorse production platform salvage. She has continuously worked closely with government officials, regulatory bodies, local communities and businessowners, and international corporations to achieve favorable results. She has also worked as in-house counsel for a major oil company and uses that unique insight and experience to benefit her clients.

Stacey has also been involved in many successful arbitrations and complex, high-stakes federal, state, and appellate court litigation throughout Texas, Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, New York, and London. From 2010 to 2014, Stacey served as legal counsel for BP’s Gulf Coast Restoration Organization, working closely with both state and federal stakeholders in recovery and remediation efforts following the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

Throughout her service, Stacey has juggled unique challenges and developed a deep understanding of the maritime landscape, a drive for the clients she serves, and an appreciation for the maritime industry as a whole. Her representation and advocacy across the country has created and solidified legal precedent in maritime law.
