Law firms ranked by client reviews
Shipping contracts cover the formation, performance and dispute resolution of agreements governing the carriage of goods by sea, ship chartering, and related services such as freight, bills of lading and demurrage. A solicitor in this field drafts and negotiates charterparties, bills of lading terms, and freight contracts; reviews performance against contract terms; and handles claims for breach, demurrage, or cargo loss. They also advise on applicable international conventions and marine insurance requirements that shape liability and remedies.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The solicitor translates complex maritime terms, charter templates, and force majeure clauses into enforceable commitments, identifies risks in cargo claims, shipping liens, and cargo insurance gaps, and navigates the interaction of international conventions with national law to protect the client’s commercial position.
