Transportation: Shipping

Van Traa is the most complete legal service provider in the transport sector. It is one of the very few firms in the Netherlands, and is recognised as such in the market, with the expertise and experience to deal with legally complex issues in all aspects of transport law: including rail, road, multimodal, brown and blue water carriage; casualties; wet and dry shipping; logistics and forwarding; aviation; food and consumer goods; commodities and marine insurance.

For decades, Van Traa has been involved in all major accidents and high-impact events that have occurred in the Netherlands or have affected the Netherlands, such as Hanjin’s bankruptcy, where Van Traa advised and assisted the whole Dutch market, and Van Traa's involvement following the shocking crash (shootdown) of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 in Ukraine.

Following Van Traa’s niche specialization, the firm also has a dedicated team of international trade specialists, mainly active in the trade of soft and hard commodities.
