International Trade and Logistics - the entire process of transferring products from producer to consumer locally or across the globe including storage transport trans-shipment warehousing handling packaging and using logistics management software is fraught with potential peril.

Carter Lemon Camerons LLP offers specialist legal advice to individuals and corporations engaging in international trade and logistics.

Mariel Monk and Laurence Scott have extensive experience of handling and resolving disputes for clients involved in all aspects of international trade and logistics.

Handling and resolving disputes gives insight into an industry so clients involved in international trade, supply chains and logistics receive a benefit when we are engaged in drafting and general advisory work. From the start of the process onwards we draft logistics documentation and conditions of trading (including advising the Road Haulage Association (RHA) on its 2009 Conditions).

Our dispute resolution team advise and assist with issues which arise when cargoes are not delivered in good condition or at all as a consequence of acts of piracy; poor seamanship; product liability failures; issues with third party logistics providers and non asset based logistics providers; differences between warehouse management systems. We address the consequences of logistics management and other software glitches or failures. The team pursue and defend claims involving companies operating supply chains and logistics as well as coverage claims against insurers on behalf of cargo owners, carriers, third party logistics providers.
