Ground transport companies need operational licenses defining their scope of activity, and transport contracts carry terms determining carrier liability for goods during transport.

Regulatory Framework
This sector falls under ground transport regulations and the Commercial Agencies Law regarding vehicle distribution.
How We Work With This Sector
We review the type of activity, transport or distribution, to determine applicable regulations and appropriate contracts.
Who We Work With in This Sector
Ground transport and shipping companies needing contracts clarifying carrier liability.
Vehicle distribution agents needing their contracts structured with manufacturing companies.
We notice that some new vehicle distribution agents sign agency agreements with the manufacturing company without adequately reviewing regional exclusivity and termination terms, even though these terms directly determine the extent of regulatory protection available to the agent later if the manufacturing company decides to end the relationship or appoint an additional agent in the same geographic area originally assigned to the first agent.
