In the road freight haulage sector, the Firm is particularly known for its efficiency in dealing with problems related to the so-called “tariffe a forcella” (price-bracket tariffs) for road haulage, which has been engaging some of the firms associates in important disputes before the Luxemburg Court of Justice.

PORTS LAW
In the ports sector Conte & Giacomini played a leading role in the jurisprudential and regulatory evolution that led to the reform of port legislation (law 84/94 and following amendments).
Since the famous Merci Convenzionali / Porto di Genova judgment was issued (lawsuit C-179/90) by the European Communities Court of Justice, sponsored by the lawyers Giuseppe Conte and Giuseppe Giacomini, the Firm has been co-operating at all levels for the affirmation and implementation of principles dictated by European Community Law in national laws and regulations that govern the sensitive sector of port activities.
Thanks to the great experience gained, Conte & Giacomini offers assistance and advice to leading Italian terminal operators in the important sector of concessions and authorization and generally on all issues pertaining to port activities as well as sea and land intermodality.
The specific interdisciplinary capacity of the staff permits a full range of consultation; ranging from customs problems to those linked with terminal operation management, connected with responsibilities for safety at work and accident prevention.
