Overview

Bills of Lading Masterclass Online is a series of 10 online sessions delivered over 5 days. Each day will run for 120 minutes with a short break in between. The masterclass will focus on the B/L as a part of broader sets of documents, each of which is necessary when selling or buying goods internationally. The course will also focus on international conventions, and how the B/L serves as essential for all parties involved in cargo transactions. 

What will you learn?

The Bill of Lading is at the core of international trade. The course focuses on common issues in B/L disputes (such as claused B/L’s, general average, LOI’s and liens) as well as on how this is legally dealt with worldwide. The seminar is highly practical and focuses on practical solutions to common B/L problems.
