When should you consult a transport lawyer?

For transport companies

A transportation law lawyer provides advice, pre-litigation and litigation services to transportation companies in order to:

  • Draft contractual documents in compliance with current laws and standards;
  • Bring old contractual documents into line with current legislation;
  • Propose a general risk analysis;
  • Perform a legal risk audit.

In the first instance, if you are faced with a case of pre-litigation or litigation with an individual or a company, a lawyer can help you find an amicable solution.

In the opposite case, a transportation lawyer will be able to support you throughout the various legal proceedings. He or she can also take part in discussions with your insurer.

You’ll benefit from the in-depth legal expertise of the firm’s lawyers, and from previous case law. We can help you assess the sums at stake, particularly in terms of damages. We can also analyze possible penalties for failure to meet certain obligations.

For example, the carrier’s share of responsibility and that of the shipper are difficult to determine. Our lawyers can help you clarify this point.
