Transport Law

Transport plays an important role in Switzerland. As Switzerland is centrally located in Europe, it is a transshipment point for both foreign and domestic goods. Questions of transport law regularly arise in connection with import and export business and transactions.

The circumstances leading to this are ideally analyzed by a lawyer for transport law and the client receives reliable and timely information. Disputes are either avoided altogether or resolved within a reasonable period of time.

We advise private and public actors on compliance with local and international transport laws and regulations. Regulations concerning risky materials are also relevant for many carriers. Furthermore, we draft service contracts, carrier agreements, waybills, prepare documentation in connection with notices of defects and freight charges. Here you will benefit from our extensive expertise in the field of contract law. Through our in-house notary's office, we offer you all services in this area from a single source. From the drafting to the negotiation and review of contracts and their subsequent certification, we support you every step of the way. In addition, we advise you on insurance matters as well as on international laws and agreements.

Of course, we also represent our clients before all national authorities and courts. In doing so, we proceed in an experienced and efficient manner and use all available legal means to represent and enforce our clients' interests. In most cases, however, it is worthwhile to seek an out-of-court solution first. We are happy to advise and represent you in mediation and arbitration, including in cross-border and multinational matters.

We do not neglect economic considerations in any of our consultations, because our law firm is interdisciplinary and has in-depth expertise in the areas of finance, tax, economics, and related legal fields. Companies in the transport industry appreciate our comprehensive assessments of the initial situation, which we skillfully incorporate into our strategy. In this way, we regularly succeed in achieving optimal results.
