Transport law

Land Transport and Logistics

In the field of land transport, we draw on a foundation and expertise that we have built since the very establishment of our firm. Our long-standing presence in the market and deep specialization make us an established partner for the freight transport, forwarding, and logistics segment.

Our experience and stable background in the segment

  • Historical connection with market leaders: From 1995, we acted as legal representative of the Association of Road Hauliers of the Slovak Republic (ČESMAD Slovakia). This strategic cooperation gave us unique know-how, extremely rare on the Slovak market, in key issues of international transport.
  • Specialisation in customs proceedings and the TIR system: We successfully and consistently represented ČESMAD Slovakia in complex disputes against the customs authorities and the Customs Directorate of the Slovak Republic, in particular in sensitive matters concerning customs debts and the international guarantee system TIR, including matters relating to TIR carnets.
  • Leading expertise in the CMR Convention:We have top-tier experts on the Convention on the Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road (CMR). Our expertise in this area is so widely recognized that we regularly conduct professional training sessions for carriers and logistics companies, educating them on the practical application of, and risks associated with, the CMR Convention. As a result, we have a detailed overview of the problems that companies most frequently encounter in practice.

Effective Protection for Carriers and Insurers

We now fully apply our proven procedures and procedural expertise to the protection of the interests of individual carriers, forwarders, and insurers. We represent them in connection with various legal and operational issues arising in the international carriage of goods – ranging from loss events, losses and damage to consignments, to liability disputes. Prospective clients gain in us a partner who has demonstrably shaped the legal environment of road transport in Slovakia and who, in every dispute, is able to act with maximum pragmatism and strategic strength.

Air Transport

In the field of aviation law, we possess comprehensive expertise that exceeds standard market practice in Slovakia, built up over nearly 20 years. Our experience in this segment spans the full spectrum of legal relationships – from the incorporation of an airline itself to the provision of strategic legal advice in connection with its day-to-day operations.

A significant part of our practice consists of legal advice on aircraft lease agreements, purchase agreements, novations of existing legal relationships, and aircraft registrations. We provide these sophisticated services primarily to foreign clients, such as leading international leasing companies and global banking institutions.

Defense of Air Carriers' Rights under Regulation (EC) No 261/2004

Since 2013, we have continuously and successfully represented a leading low-cost airline in the complex area of disputes with passengers. Our principal specialization in this segment is the protection of rights and the defense of the interests of the air carrier in proceedings concerning passenger claims arising under Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council

We provide our clients with comprehensive legal services at every level. Our activities encompass not only diligent representation in court proceedings, but also the active conduct of out-of-court negotiations, where, thanks to our reputation and strong argumentation, we frequently achieve the most favorable outcomes without the need for protracted litigation. Over the years, our firm has developed and refined precise procedures that enable us to immediately identify weaknesses in the opposing party's claims and to respond promptly to any procedural situation. We combine our deep grounding in aviation law with a detailed understanding of airline operations themselves – from crew rotations to the analysis of meteorological reports.
