Warehouse & Logistics
Scopelitis attorneys understand the complex legal and practical issues facing companies in the warehousing and logistics industries. Our practice includes both complex warehousing contracts and litigation arising from commercial disputes and property damage. We are appointed counsel for the two largest warehouse associations in the United States (International Warehouse Logistics Association/IWLA and International Association of Refrigerated Warehouses/IARW). Scopelitis attorneys regularly present at national conferences and are retained to teach warehouse legal liability courses for associations, universities, large logistics companies and general counsels.
Our attorneys have extensive experience working for some of the largest warehouses in the country as well as assisting small warehouses. We assist these clients in every aspect of their business, including warehousing and fulfillment contracts, corporate issues, transactions/ due diligence, and litigation. Our attorneys have litigated matters across the country involving the storage and handling of countless products and materials in all aspects of warehouse legal liability, including:
- Property losses (fire, flood, infestation, ammonia release, temperature abuse, theft, etc.)
- Breach of contract
- Fraud
- General liability
- Demurrage
- Regulatory compliance
- Enforcement of warehouse liens (TROs and injunctions)
