Companies in transportation need to avoid litigation. Logistics providers manage complex logistics service packages (supply chain management) and provide numerous additional services. Our team has many years of experience in advising freight forwarders and cargo transporters such as carriers, shipping companies and airlines. Insurance companies, P&I clubs, insurance intermediaries and trading and manufacturing companies also rely on our expertise.
We advise you on all matters relating to the transportation of goods in Austria and abroad, whether by air, truck, rail, inland waterway or ocean-going vessel. In doing so, we support you both in contentious matters and in the drafting of logistics contracts. Of course, we also examine and assess foreign trade law (embargoes, export licenses, dual-use regulation) and customs law issues associated with cross-border goods movements on your behalf.
In addition, we advise and represent you in insurance law matters, in particular in the examination and enforcement of coverage claims from transport, comprehensive and liability insurance policies and in the enforcement of recourse claims.
