Our expertise

Van Traa specialises in matters of transport and logistics, international trade and insurance & liability.

We advise our clients on a wide range of issues including liabilities, insurance policy coverage and rights and obligations under contracts and general terms and conditions. We assist our clients in conducting their business and solving problems in the event of calamities, both big or small.

If possible, we negotiate, but if that does not lead to the desired result, we represent our clients in litigation before the court, first instance and appeal and also in dispute-resolution, such as (international) arbitration. 

Our clients are national and international companies, such as trading firms, shipping companies including container lines and non vessel operating common carriers (NVOCC), transport and transshipment companies, financial service providers such as banks, brokers and insurers, aviation companies, construction companies and contractors. 

For specific questions concerning foreign law, we utilize an international network of specialised law firms all around the world. By doing so, we always select the best lawyer for the case.
