To get started
Sound familiar?
Problems every transport operator faces
๐ค
Disputes drag on for weeks or months
Without the right legal argument and documentation, counterparties simply ignore you or delay indefinitely.
๐ธ
Invoices go unpaid and you don't know what to do
Sending a reminder email doesn't trigger EU late payment law. A proper pre-court notice does.
๐
You don't know which law applies
CMR? National law? EU regulation? Getting it wrong means your claim fails before it even starts.
โฐ
Legal deadlines slip by unnoticed
CMR has strict notification windows. Miss them by even one day and you lose the right to claim.
๐
Cabotage violations caught too late
By the time the fine arrives, it's โฌ15,000. Real-time compliance monitoring prevents this.
๐จโโ๏ธ
Can't afford lawyers for every dispute
Most transport companies skip legal action because it's too expensive. Our platform makes it affordable.
Justera solves all of this โ automatically.
No lawyers needed for 80% of cases. The right documents, the right law, the right language.
Why Justera
The old way vs. the smart way
Every transport operator faces the same problems. Only the approach is different.

- Manually research which law applies (CMR? national?)
- Pay โฌ200โโฌ800/hour for document drafting

- No visibility on dispute status or outcome odds
- Chase invoices with generic reminder emails
- Hire translators for cross-border documents
Average cost per dispute: โฌ1,200โโฌ3,500
