Infrastructure

Transport, logistics and trade are increasingly important for the production and sale of goods and for the exchange of goods between companies extracting raw materials or producing or trading in goods and for companies or consumers using goods.

Agreements on transport, logistics and trade are often concluded and performed by parties from different countries and on the basis of different national and international rules. When implementing the agreements, the parties should consider a number of legal and commercial issues, e.g. the legal framework and substance of the agreements, transport and commercial documents, the parties' duties and obligations, insurance and financing. It is therefore important to identify and apply the best and most effective legal and commercial solutions. When making such decisions, it is also important for companies to find solutions which satisfy their needs and function effectively in practice.
