Team Services

At the heart of globalization
Shipping, logistics, and international trade are, by nature, dependent of each other and one cannot exist without the other.

Our team has long experience and thorough understanding of the needs and risks involved in the shipping, international trade, and logistics service markets – not only from the side of ship owners, carriers, freight forwarders or other logistics service providers but also from the side of the cargo interest, and of overall insurance issues. As the international element is usually involved, the team is experienced in assisting clients in international disputes before courts and in arbitration.
Diverse services
On transport issues, we advise in all areas of shipping, transport, and logistics – from regulatory matters to drafting of comprehensive logistics frame agreements, and from cargo claims to assistance in relation of collisions, charter parties, newbuilding contracts, and related issues.
Comprehensive expertise
Our expertise from the international trade includes drafting of various type of purchase agreements with special knowledge from the maritime and aviation sector. We also regularly give legal advice on complex customs, sanctions, and other trade restrictions issues.
