Specialist lawyer for transport and forwarding law
The specialist lawyer for transport and forwarding law is a title that lawyers can acquire from the Federal Bar Association . To do this, they must provide evidence of relevant specialist knowledge in accordance with Section 14g of the Specialist Lawyers' Regulations (usually by successfully completing a specialist lawyer course) and a minimum number of cases actually processed in accordance with Section 5 (1) (n) FAO.
According to § 14 g of the Fachanwaltsordnung , special knowledge of transport and forwarding law in the following areas must be proven:
- Law of national and international road transport, including the law of general terms and conditions and transport insurance conditions
- Law of national and cross-border transport by sea, air and rail
- Multimodal transport law
- Law of the transport of dangerous goods , including related penal and administrative fines
- Forwarding Insurance Law
- International private law
- Customs law and customs clearance in cross-border traffic as well as transfer taxes
- Special features of litigation and arbitration
According to a decision by the BGH, passenger transport law is not one of the cases that can be taken into account for the necessary practical experience of a specialist lawyer for transport and forwarding law, since the core area of this specialist lawyer is the transport of goods. The passenger transport law is instead assigned to the area of responsibility of the specialist lawyer for traffic law . As of January 1, 2018, 206 specialist lawyers are admitted in Germany.
