Trade and logistics

Issues and developments

Staff

In times of economic growth, the logistics sector often suffers from a shortage of staff. However, during an economic slowdown, transport companies and logistics service providers have to deal with a staff surplus.

Acquisitions

When times are good, there are many commercial enterprises and logistics service providers looking for ways to speed up growth. Often, acquisitions are considered. When considering a takeover, it is important that you call in the right specialists. One of those specialists should most definitely be a lawyer.

Contracts

In addition, good contract management is generally good advice: if you do business, you have to deal with many different players, especially if you operate internationally.

How we can help you

If there is a shift of staff, managing employment agreements is important. Hoens & Souren advise clients from the time of entering into an employment relationship with the employee until its termination.

Our office has acquisition specialists available to guide you from the beginning to the conclusion of the acquisition process, assisted by specialists in the administrative and tax areas from our own network.

When entering into international trading relationships, proper advice is essential, since cultures can vary greatly.
