Gavin's focus is on Canadian liability issues arising from international logistics and transportation activities. He has represented carriers, forwarders, cargo interests, and ship owners in court proceedings before both the Federal and Superior Courts as well as ADRs and administrative tribunals. He represents clients in a wide range of commercial and civil litigation issues, such as employment disputes, contract and commercial disputes, privacy concerns, and privacy-related matters. Maritime Law, the oldest international body of law, is still recognizable today in international treaties. Phoenicians as well as other ancient seafarers promulgated principles around the Mediterranean over 3000 years ago. Even more than before, today, efficient and effective trade is essential to the economic health of a nation. In order to get the best possible result, we consider the litigation risks in relation to your entire business. More than 90 percent of all cargo in the world is now containerized. Most maritime disputes are a complex mix of different parties, some of which have no direct contract with each other, so it is difficult to assess the evidence.
