Legal services

Whether you operate in Austria, Germany, Hungary or other European countries that have transport laws, you need a set of documents and representation services for your company.

Why do you need legal services?

Some EU member countries require carriers operating in their territory to hold a set of documents. Moreover, they request the appointment of a representative for the transport company on the territory of their country to mediate the connection between the authorities and the company in case of an inspection.
