Infrastructure and transport

 

Transport law involves plenty complex aspects connected with logistics, transportation of goods and people, transport expedition and others. Disputes can arise from shortage of the cargo, damage to the goods, customs clearance, custody agreements, poor-quality transportation of passengers and so on.

Nowadays a special form of cooperation – public-private partnership – appears to be gaining in popularity with regard to implementation of infrastructure projects in Russia.
