Transportation Law

CLC lawyers and their firms are available to work independently or, where instructed, in collaboration with one another on the legal aspects associated with transportation.

Coverage

• ongoing advice directed to upgrading existing policy wordings

• Personal injury claims
• Death claims
• First Party property claims
• Cargo claims
• Cargo subrogations
• Aviation losses
• Marine losses
• Environmental claims
• Warehousing matters
• Jurisdictional issues
• Interpretation of transportation contracts and Bills of Lading

Services
