We advise clients on cargo insurance matters across the shipping and trade sector, including cover issues, claims handling, recovery strategy and disputes. Our approach combines legal analysis with practical understanding of how cargo claims develop in a commercial setting.
Why it matters
Cargo insurance issues can have a direct impact on recovery, liability exposure and the overall handling of a loss. Questions may arise as to the scope of cover, compliance with policy requirements, the adequacy of supporting evidence and the interaction between insurance rights and claims against carriers, warehouses, terminals or other parties.
