The advisors at Ferox Legal have for years been established leaders in the aviation, transport, and logistics sectors. According to the Kanzleimonitor 2020/2021 and 2021/2022 handbooks, we are recognized among the leading advisors in Germany.

As a premier law firm advising international companies in the aviation industry (passenger and cargo), we counsel airlines (commercial and private aviation), freight forwarders, insurance companies, airport operators, and other participants in the aviation industry, notably in the following areas:

• Defense and enforcement of claims, including the handling of IT-based and non-IT-based class actions and passenger claims
• Support in the automation of processes for handling passenger complaints
• Representation in negotiations with the Federal Aviation Office (Luftfahrt-Bundesamt) and other state institutions
• Coordination of major losses, carrier liability, and cargo damage
• Freight damage and multimodal advice

For logistics groups involved in road and maritime transport, we provide counsel in the following areas, among others:

• Advice on drafting freight, forwarding, and CEP (Courier-Express-Parcel) contracts, warehousing and logistics agreements, as well as General Terms and Conditions
• Representation in claims handling (defense and recourse)
• Litigation before all German courts, as well as acting as party counsel and arbitrators in arbitration proceedings under the rules of the ICC, DIS, and other international arbitration organizations

Decades of experience in transactions and negotiations also enable us to design promising strategies and goal-oriented contracts. We are uniquely accustomed to working with multilateral agreements (e.g., the Montreal Convention) and statutes, and we are deeply familiar with industry standards such as IATA resolutions.

The advisors at our firm regularly handle major liability proceedings in connection with accidents or transport damage, draft contractual frameworks and compliance guidelines, or negotiate commercial leases for logistics providers. In addition, our transaction team draws upon reliable, sector-specific expertise for sales or takeovers within the logistics industry.

Our advisory services cover the intersections of:

• Transport law, freight forwarding law, and aviation law
• Mergers & Acquisitions
• Merger control
• Structuring of joint ventures, project companies, or cooperations
• Contract drafting and negotiation

We advise you. At any time. No ifs, ands, or buts.
