Overland transport covers the commercial movement of goods by road within England, including how carriers and consignors contract, insure and limit liability for damage or loss. A solicitor in this area drafts and negotiates transport contracts, reviews carriage terms, handles claims for lost or damaged cargo, and advises on regulatory compliance such as operator licensing, road transport safety rules, and related regime requirements. The work often turns on who is responsible for delivery, loading, and securing goods, and on the timing of notices and claims.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
