In addition to having acumen in the substantive law associated with the above areas, Transportation Lawyers offer services tailored to different stages of the supply and distribution chain and carriage of passengers. Transportation Lawyers provide advice in the formation, sale, and acquisition of companies, having specific regard to the transportation and corporate regulatory framework in which they operate. Contracts of carriage are drafted and vetted with the competing interests in mind from the point of view of shippers of goods, passengers, intermediaries and carriers. As alluded to above, those involved in cargo claims require representation in arbitration or court proceedings, and supply chain participants are often called on to defend court actions arising from transportation accidents. Cargo claims and casualty driven litigation is conducted both in the courts of the various provinces as well as in certain cases in the Federal Court of Canada.
