Description
Transportation, logistics, and storage arrangements are often overlooked—until a delayed, damaged, or lost shipment causes business disruption and a costly dispute. In-house counsel must understand where liability sits, which contractual provisions create unexpected exposure, and what steps to take when a shipment goes wrong.
Join us on Monday, October 5, 2026, at 12:00 pm as Chris Merrick and Eric Palombo, Shareholders and Co-Practice Leads of the Transportation, Logistics & Supply Chain Practice at Flaster Greenberg, examine five critical issues every in-house attorney should understand when sending or receiving goods.
Drawing on real-world examples, Chris and Eric will explain the contractual provisions counsel should spot, negotiate, and avoid; the distinct legal frameworks governing air, ocean, trucking, rail, and warehousing arrangements; and practical strategies for managing risk throughout the supply chain—including exposure related to tariffs and customs duties.
Attendees will learn how to:
- Spot, negotiate, and avoid problematic provisions in transportation and logistics agreements
- Navigate the distinct legal frameworks governing air, ocean, trucking, rail, and warehousing arrangements
- Understand how liability is allocated across different modes of transportation
- Identify hidden risks before they result in disrupted, delayed, damaged, or lost shipments
