Houston-based firms Schouest, Bamdas, Soshea & BenMaier and Eastham, Watson, Dale & Forney have merged, creating a broader maritime practice at the firm now known as Schouest, Bamdas, Soshea, BenMaier & Eastham, or SBSB Eastham.

With the merger, four lawyers from Eastham Watson moved to Schouest Bamdas’ Houston office, bringing an admiralty and “blue water” maritime practice to the larger firm’s “brown water” maritime and insurance defense practices.
