Transport & Logistics
Legal 500 (2017) has described us as a “transport boutique [which] provides excellent service and has substantial knowledge of the industry."
We advise our clients on all transport-related issues and represent them in litigation and arbitration proceedings, irrespective of the mode of transport (by land, by sea, by inland waterways, by air or any combination thereof), and whether commodities or passengers are being carried.
As regards the international carriage of goods by sea, we regularly represent cargo and liability insurers as well as P&I Clubs in coverage, defence and recourse disputes. We also often represent freight forwarders, carriers and warehouse keepers, all of whom we assist in pursuing claims, in defending against unjustified claims, in drafting contracts and in customs matters.
Our law firm was recommended in the latest edition of The Legal 500 and Who's Who Legal in this practice area.
