Damage recovery lawyers

The UK transport industry is one of the most heavily regulated in the world and plays a crucial role in today’s economy.

Anyone involved in domestic or international transportation of goods will appreciate that even with meticulous preparation the risk of loss, damage or delay cannot be eliminated. Whether you are a seller, buyer, forwarder, carrier, or warehouse and terminal operator, we understand both the complexity and time critical demands of your industry.

We understand your world and pride ourselves on providing pragmatic and constructive support, tailored to your commercial needs. This includes regularly handling  multi-jurisdictional disputes involving distribution, cargo claims and liability issues. We also regularly deal with HMRC and Border Force in matters arising from the seizure of goods or clandestine entry.

We also provide repair cost and uninsured loss recovery services for highways and logistics operators. When negligent third party drivers cause damage to highways infrastructure maintained by our clients, or if your fleet vehicles become damaged in a road traffic accident, our dedicated team recovers your losses on a no win, no fee basis.

Whatever your needs, if you work in the transportation sector, you’ll have a dedicated team of experts in your corner.
