Practice Areas

The development of global trade and tourism drives an ever-increasing need for transportation and shipping. The monetary sums involved are often tremendous. Passenger life and health are priceless. Transportation vehicles and installations (containers, ships, aircrafts, trains, trucks, terminals, and so on) are costly. In addition, goods and other transported cargo are often of substantial value, and damage or delay can cause great losses. Due to the limitations of liability in conventions, legislation, and standard transport agreements, a substantial part of the risk for such losses often rests with the cargo owner and the cargo insurers.

Based on years of experience working with the conventions and legislation that forms Maritime Law, Aviation Law, and other parts of Transport Law, NORDIA assists both transport carriers (by air, sea, and land), cargo owners, passengers, insurance companies, and the other players and investors associated with the transport sector in all aspects of the transportation business.

This includes

• Purchase, sale, and registration of means of transportation
• Leasing agreements (dry and wet)
• Financing
• Standard and non-standard transport agreements and terms (air, sea, land, and multimodal)
• Passenger claims
• Insurance (for means of transportation, cargo, and liability) and related matters
• Carrier liability, or cargo and passenger’s claims (loss or delay of passengers or cargo)
• Crash and collision
• Litigation and arbitration
• Competition law and other public regulations
• Transport business transfers
• All international law matters in connection with the aforementioned matters
