Tenacious litigator and dynamic state and federal court advocate, Taylor Ashworth, practices in both the offshore energy and marine litigation group and the casualty and mass tort litigation group.
With a meticulous approach to case preparation and a penchant for writing, Taylor supports trial teams through all phases of litigation—from initial investigation and discovery to trial strategy and resolution. Taylor is known for her responsiveness, attention to detail, and deep understanding of the maritime industry’s landscape. Her exemplary organizational abilities and unwavering dedication to producing high-quality legal work yield significant benefits for both her colleagues and clients.
Taylor’s innovative and thoughtfully crafted methodology in the practice of law serves as an incredibly valuable and indispensable asset to her highly collaborative and forward-thinking practice groups.
