3Transport and forwarding law –
from order to delivery
Transport and forwarding law covers all legal aspects that accompany the entire journey of goods - from handing them over to the forwarding agent to delivery to the recipient. The basis of every transport is the contract between the sender or recipient and the forwarding agent or carrier. In the freight or forwarding contracts, the parties agree to transport goods for a fee. The special features of the various means of transport and the requirements of cross-border transport are particularly important here, which requires precise and detailed contract clauses. However, legal problems can arise not only before but also during transport. Transport damage and delivery delays can lead to significant financial losses. In such cases, liability limitations and exclusions are crucial legal issues.
We will take care of your case – quickly & with commitment.
