Transport

“an important player for its know-how and experience”
(Chambers, 2010)

Lawyers in the Cuatrecasas, Gonçalves Pereira Transport Group have extensive experience in offering legal advice to companies in this sector, specifically in the maritime and port, railway, air and logistics sub-sectors.

Our legal services (whether transport is by air, sea, rail or road) include obtaining the administrative permits required for carrying out these activities, especially relating to requests for airport slots and train paths; negotiating codes shared amongst airlines and other joint ventures between transport companies; and transport contracts, including the multi-modal bypass.

Working with the litigation practice, our Transport Group provides defense and representation in contentious issues related to transport activity in any jurisdiction, including cases involving claims against maritime insurance for damaged cargo, vessel arrest, execution of withholding rights, maritime fraud, arbitration, and representation in the merchant navy’s administrative sanctioning proceedings, and their subsequent review through legal action.

We are proud of the wide range of national and international sector companies that are our clients, as well as our participation in numerous important transactions related to this sector in Spain.
