Our lawyers are familiar with all aspects of international trade including bills of lading, contracts of carriage by sea and air, charterparties, international carriage of goods, and multi-modal transport. We regularly advise and act for clients on the international aspects of trade and sale of goods including issues on letters of credit.

We also represent various freight forwarders in claims by and against them regarding different modes of transport of goods. Our lawyers also acted in a High Court action in 2002 regarding the enforcement of terms of the Singapore Logistics Association (formerly the Singapore Freight Forwarders Association), which are similar to standard terms applied internationally by the British International Freight Association and FIATA. This was the first decision of its kind in Singapore.
