Carriage covers contracts for transporting goods by sea, including the rights and obligations of the shipper and carrier, bills of lading, and the liability framework for loss or damage in transit. A solicitor in this area drafts and negotiates carriage contracts, examines and negotiates bills of lading, investigates loss or damage claims, and handles insurance and demurrage issues. They also guide clients through limits of liability, deviation, and the enforcement of terms under the applicable regime governing sea transport.
