Bouhan Falligant

What Bouhan Falligant does

Bouhan Falligant LLP is a private, full-service law firm headquartered in Savannah, Georgia, tracing its origins to 1886 and operating as a limited liability partnership. The firm employs approximately 33 attorneys organized across 26 distinct practice areas, including Maritime & Admiralty, Transportation & Logistics, Commercial Litigation, Real Estate, Healthcare, Malpractice & Professional Liability, Intellectual Property, Family Law, and Estate Planning. Its maritime practice holds the only Savannah-based nationwide recognition in the Chambers USA Guide 2026 for Transportation: Shipping/Maritime: Litigation, and the firm has held first-tier U.S. News-Best Lawyers rankings across multiple practice areas since at least 2015.

The firm serves a horizontal mix of clients: businesses (primary segment, ranging from small businesses to large enterprises), governmental entities (workers' compensation and litigation defense), professionals (malpractice defense for medical, legal, and engineering practitioners), and individuals (personal injury, family law, estate planning). Customer concentration is industry-diversified across maritime/shipping, transportation/logistics, financial services (including P&I clubs), real estate, healthcare, and government. Revenue is generated through hourly fees, fixed fees, and contingency arrangements, though specific pricing and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.

The firm operates from a single 18,000-square-foot office at One West Park Avenue completed in 2017, and delivers services through direct attorney-client relationships without resellers or intermediaries. Its go-to-market is relationship-based, driven by firm reputation, peer recognition, community involvement, and referrals. Bouhan Falligant markets primarily through its website, blog content, and selective social media presence, with no proprietary technology platform, AI/ML capability, or software product disclosed. The firm is governed by partners, with Shayna A. Bowen elected as Managing Partner in February 2026, succeeding prior leadership structures that have operated continuously since the 2013 merger creating the current entity.
