Cargo Damage covers claims arising from loss or damage to goods shipped by sea, and the liabilities of carriers and other parties under bills of lading and charterparties. A solicitor in this area drafts and negotiates cargo claims, prepares and serves notices, collects and reviews documentary evidence such as bills of lading, voyage records and surveys, and coordinates with carriers, insurers and P&I clubs. They may pursue or defend claims in appropriate courts or arbitral forums, and assess liability and damages in performance-related disputes.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The solicitor handles the provisions and procedures governing carriage of goods by sea, such as bills of lading, charterparty terms, and the carrier's liability regime. They assemble evidence (notices of loss, surveys, freight invoices), interpret applicable Incoterms, and manage communications with insurers, brokers, and the opposing party. They navigate potential limitations of liability and applicable statutory regimes to secure and quantify recoveries for cargo damage.
