Transport

With supply chains coming under increased pressure, our experts enable us to support insurers and their customers in addressing complex issues throughout their global network.

Overview

The team has broad experience in transport claims, including transport liability in relation to loss of or damage to cargo at sea or carried by road, rail or air. We have considerable experience of first party cargo claims, including project cargo and related DSU claims, as well as ports and terminal losses.

We are familiar with all of the associated international regimes, including the CMR and the Warsaw/Montreal Conventions.

If fraud is identified in transport claims, our lawyers will work together to combine their expertise to deliver the best litigation strategy and a successful outcome for you.
