KPMG Law Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH (KPMG Law), together with an international team from the KPMG Global Legal Network, advised Deutsche Bahn Group on the acquisition of the full load solution business of Schenker AG (Schenker) by DB Cargo AG (DB Cargo).

Full Load Solutions (FLS for short) are transport solutions for full loads by road, intermodal, rail and shortsea connections. In addition to Transa Speditions GmbH, based in Offenbach, the acquired FLS business includes FLS business in more than ten European countries, in particular Sweden, Italy, Poland, Bulgaria and Romania.

KPMG Law provided comprehensive advice on the structuring and execution of the overall transaction.
