Dutch lawyers in transport law and logistics

Good commercial agreements are essential. Particularly when you operate internationally and do not know your business partner well. How do you ensure that your rights are adequately safeguarded and that you have access to redress? Our lawyers will be happy to assist you in drawing up framework agreements, payment conditions, the incorporation of security in your contracts (such as retention of title), delivery conditions (such as appropriate Incoterms) and drawing up a conclusive set of sales and delivery conditions, or purchase conditions. If you wish to terminate or dissolve a commercial agreement, our Dutch lawyers in the Netherlands will be happy to assist you. Not all transports run smoothly. If there is a kink in the cable somewhere, the damage can be enormous. Our lawyers respond quickly, have a large international network at their disposal, and are ready to assist you immediately.

 

 

Imagine the risk of bankruptcy or a business relationship that is damaged because you cannot deliver anymore. Possibilities for redress can become immediately important with questions such as: whether you can still recover your goods, whether you are still the owner. If you can still seize your property in the Netherlands to build in as many securities as possible in an uncertain period of time? Our lawyers are used to answering these questions and have a sound knowledge of the Dutch procedural law. When something is wrong due to transport, discussions often arise about liability for consequential damage, such as loss of profit. This is due to products not completely or not properly arriving at their destination. This raises questions about the applicable general terms and condition and, which conditions take precedence (purchase conditions or conditions of sale)? Also, who has to prove the extent of the damage? MAAK Advocaten has a great deal of experience in such matters and understands the interests of both parties better than anyone else.
