Transport and Freight Forwarding Law
For Businesses, Freight Forwarders, and Carriers
Legal consultations are also available in English.
Transport and freight forwarding law combines legal, commercial, and operational issues throughout domestic and cross-border supply chains. The firm advises and represents businesses in drafting, reviewing, and enforcing claims arising from transportation, carriage, and freight forwarding agreements.
The focus is on the legally sound classification of contractual relationships, the assessment of liability risks, and the efficient resolution of disputes both out of court and in court. The applicable statutory requirements are taken into account, in particular the German Commercial Code, international transport conventions such as the CMR, and the agreed General German Freight Forwarders’ Terms and Conditions (ADSp).
