Transport & Mobility

A sector vital to the economy

The transport sector, essential to the global economy, has undergone profound upheavals over the last few decades, notably as a result of the liberalization of formerly monopolistic activities and the subsequent regulation of these activities. It is also a sector with particularly strong and complex operational constraints, which requires, on the part of counsel to its players, not only a perfect command of all the legal expertise involved, but also a detailed knowledge of the operation of the various activities and the interaction between the players…

Comprehensive assistance

Our teams advise and work with professionals in the road, rail, air and sea transport sectors, as well as in relations between operators and public authorities. We advise entities managing transport infrastructures, shipyards, etc., as well as all the operators who work or operate in them.

We are involved both upstream, in the design and construction of major transportation infrastructure projects, and downstream, in the management and operation of these infrastructures. We also support public and private transport operators, as well as the entire transport industry ecosystem (service providers, subcontractors, etc.). Finally, as the transport sector is highly regulated, we assist our clients in their relations with the regulatory authorities and in litigation, both before these authorities and before the administrative or commercial courts.

A cross-disciplinary, multidisciplinary approach

In this sector too, the legal approach is necessarily cross-functional and multi-disciplinary: our dedicated teams are made up of lawyers from our public business law, environmental law, competition law, European law (especially state aid issues), corporate law, contract law and other departments.
