(Inter)national fines & penalties

(Inter)national fines and penalties are a significant concern for hauliers and consigners, particularly with regards to violations such as non-compliance with driving and resting times, tachograph manipulation, and overloading. These violations can result in severe penalties, including heavy fines and operational restrictions, which can impact your business reputation and financial stability. Furthermore, serious infringements may also lead to entries in the European Register of Road Transport Undertakings (ERRU), which can have long-term detrimental effects on your licensing and operational capabilities.

Our law firm is adept at handling cases involving (inter)national fines and penalties imposed on transport and logistics companies. We offer expert legal advice and representation to challenge and manage these penalties effectively. Our team assists clients in navigating the complex regulatory framework governing the transport sector, ensuring that your operations remain compliant and minimize the risk of penalties and ERRU entries.

Furthermore, we provide training and consultancy services to help your company understand and implement best practices in line with current regulations. By partnering with us, you can protect your business from the legal repercussions of non-compliance, avoid negative entries in the ERRU, and maintain a competitive edge in the industry.
