Law that protects commercial objectives in the logistics sector.
Advisory on contracts, liability and disputes in transport, warehousing, customs, CMR and cross-border delivery processes. We handle the CMR liability and limitation regime, customs rules, warehousing contracts, and damage, delay and recourse files at the pace of the transport operation.
The applicable legal framework in the logistics sector
The logistics sector operates on delivery times, carrier liability, customs practices, insurance, warehousing, and multi-party supply chains. A small contractual gap can quickly turn an operational disruption into a commercial dispute.
