Contract drafting and claims for damages
Transport and forwarding law is complex and regulates the legal conditions for the transportation of goods by land, water, and air, as well as the storage of goods. Many transport companies and forwarding agencies operate across borders. This requires detailed contract drafting. Our experienced lawyers advise on the conclusion and creation of transport contracts, freight contracts, forwarding contracts, or storage contracts and ensure that the interests of our clients in the infrastructure, logistics, and transport sector are safeguarded and protected.
Transport damages cannot always be avoided. Such damages or losses can lead to substantial claims for damages. In cases of liability, we stand by our clients’ side and represent their interests both out-of-court and in court.
Achieving the best possible insurance coverage
The transportation of goods involves high risks, and with transport damages, significant financial claims can be made against the company. Therefore, it is essential for companies in the infrastructure, logistics, and transport sector to take out insurance that covers the respective risks and provides the best possible protection. Our lawyers possess significant expertise in insurance law. They ensure – even in the event of damage – negotiations with the insurer are conducted on equal terms so that the best possible insurance coverage for our national and international clients is achieved.
Legally secure design of international business relations
Whether by road, rail, water, or air – goods are transported to all corners of the earth. As a result, international trade relations have significantly increased for businesses in the infrastructure, logistics, and transport sectors. This also requires profound knowledge of the different legal frameworks. Our lawyers possess extensive legal expertise in international trade law and ensure that international business relationships are designed to be legally secure. Since transport law falls under trade law, we also gladly provide our clients from the fields of infrastructure, logistics, and transport with experienced trade law attorneys as competent contacts.
Avoiding competition restrictions
In the fields of infrastructure, logistics, and transport, collaboration and cooperation or even mergers are not uncommon. This can lead to competition law and antitrust issues. Accusations of restricting or hindering competition quickly arise. Therefore, our attorneys offer comprehensive legal advice in competition and antitrust law for collaborations or mergers.
Legal consequences of import and export
When importing and exporting goods, various legal regulations must be observed. Our experienced lawyers advise companies from the fields of infrastructure, logistics, and transport on all legal and tax-related questions associated with the delivery of goods within and outside the EU. This also includes the observance of foreign trade guidelines and controls, e.g., in connection with embargoes or dual-use goods. Additionally, we represent the interests of our clients from the fields of infrastructure, logistics, and transport in disputes with customs authorities.
