In today’s interconnected and fast-paced world, the movement of goods has become increasingly complex. Numerous parties can be involved in transporting the simplest of objects. Gilbertson Davis LLP’s lawyers can help you navigate the various legal regimes and issues commonly faced.
We can advise and represent our clients on issues, disputes and claims stemming from transport that has already taken place, and can also undertake contract or risk review and analysis from a legal perspective for a contemplated shipment or an entire area of business. We can provide you with an opinion on the legal and jurisdictional issues when you are contemplating a new project, so that you are prepared for issues which may arise.
