The area is complicated and often entails use of various international conventions, standard       terms and standard documents.

Our lawyers offer advice on issues relating to the industries of transport, shipping and logistics from formation of the contract, choice of the right transport clauses through questions about insurance, financing and choice of the right legislation to legal proceedings about lost goods, attachment of property or the like.

Transport of goods often constitutes a complex and complicated process involving many players. A long transport may entail transport both by land, by sea and by air, possibly in several sittings, and tax and custom duties may be an issue as well. Thus, it is very important in advance clearly to define on who the risk of the transported goods is at a certain time, both in case of delay of the goods and in case of lost goods.

Moreover, the international dimension concerning transport, shipping and logistics creates a number of grey zones with overlapping legislation and complex issues. Our lawyers can lead the way through the complex questions of interpretation so that you avoid unnecessary and resource demanding legal proceedings.

We give advice to small carriers, which mainly operate in Denmark as well as to large shipping agencies and transport companies operating internationally and with combined means of transport.
