Transport contracts, company formation, mergers and sector due diligence for sector companies.
At Vectoris Legal we provide comprehensive commercial law advice to companies in the transport, logistics, international trade and nautical sectors. Our approach is practical and business-oriented: we accompany our clients in their day-to-day activities, corporate decisions and most complex operations.
The daily activity of a transport company, logistics operator, freight forwarder or shipping company generates a constant need for commercial law advice: contracts to review before signing, general conditions to update, operational documents with legal implications that are not always obvious. We provide a continuous commercial law advisory service covering the drafting, review and negotiation of all types of commercial and operational documentation. See our page on logistics operators and freight forwarders.
Many companies in the sector have been operating for years with inherited contracts, outdated general conditions or operational documents that have never been legally reviewed. We conduct legal and contractual audits tailored to each company's operations, producing a clear diagnosis and a prioritised action plan.
We draft, review and negotiate all types of commercial contracts relevant to the sector, including: road transport contracts (national and CMR), maritime transport contracts, international sale of goods contracts, bills of lading, general conditions of contract, logistics service agreements, charterparties (time charter, voyage charter, bareboat charter), MYBA yacht charter contracts and ship sale and purchase agreements.
The transport and logistics sector is one of the most exposed to financial distress. We advise both companies in difficulty and sector creditors in all phases of the process: pre-insolvency restructuring, payment agreements, court-approved restructuring plans and insolvency proceedings.
The Spanish transport and logistics sector is largely made up of family businesses. Succession, the entry of new family shareholders, conflicts between family branches and professionalisation of management are critical moments requiring specialist legal advice. We advise on family protocols, shareholders' agreements, succession planning and corporate restructuring.
Recovery of commercial debts against foreign clients or partners requires precise knowledge of private international law, the procedural instruments available in each jurisdiction and the mechanisms for recognition and enforcement of judicial decisions abroad. We manage international commercial debt recovery using the European Payment Order, the Brussels I Regulation and our network of international correspondents.
