Transport

The transportation sector is unique – and challenging. Our team knows how to navigate all of the many issues related to transportation – whether by air, water, land or rail – to find the quickest and easiest solutions for our clients.

We have extensive experience in advising carriers, forwarders, and transport owners. No matter what services you provide in the sector, we will help you optimize your business by offering prompt and practical legal solutions to your problems.

We are experienced in many of the issues that arise most commonly in the field of transport law:

• Disputes related to the Agreement on International Goods Transport by Rail (SMGS) or Convention on the Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road (CMR) can be confusing until you understand the legal system and practical implications of these conventions. We understand common international practices in the field and are able to explain the intentions of the parties to the courts.
• Resolving disputes among and between airports, air carriers, road transport carriers, and car dealers involving violations of competition law requires an understanding not only of the relevant law, but also of the economic and accounting nuances of these areas. Losses and sanctions can be very painful in a low-profit business.
• Disputes over damage to aircraft, the transportation and delivery of oil products, non-payment for transportation, or cargo downtime – we know what to do before going to court and how to litigate these matters when out-of-court settlements are impossible. Sometimes a properly worded request regarding a seal can change the whole course of a case.
• We have many years of experience providing legal advice on acquisitions, expansions, and reorganizations in the corporate sector, so we are ready for all scenarios during both the negotiation process and when communicating with licensing regulators. The fact that we have lawyers on our team who worked in-house in the transport sector for many years means that we can always find the best solution for our clients.
