Transportation and shipping

	The Transportation and Shipping Department at Kirk Larsen & Ascanius has been exclusively appointed as Recommended Firm in Transportation in Denmark by Global Law Experts, the premier international guide to leading legal professionals.

Legal issues within the transport business sector are governed by special legislation, and require expert knowledge in order to provide clients with the best possible advice.

In addition to complex legal aspects, the transport sector is characterised by features generally not common to most other business sectors - requiring a thorough and practical knowledge of the sector and issues that are specific to the transportation of goods, whether by air, sea, road or rail.

Experience shows that a rapid and proactive approach is most effective and one which creates greatest value for the client. This course of action typically results in minimal inconvenience in the event of unforeseeable problems arising.

We offer advice within all areas related to transportation.

Our clients include national and international carriers and freight forwarders besides cargo and liability insurers.

Our services include the negotiation and drafting of contracts such as, for example, port operation contracts, framework agreements, haulage contracts, charter parties, tenders, etc. relating to ordinary transport assignments as well as individually, tailored projects and logistics services.

Based in the offshore capital in Denmark, we continue to expand our work within oil and gas activities not to mention both the onshore and offshore wind energy sectors.

We have extensive experience with complex logistics contracts and out of gauge cargo contracts and we are familiar working in multiple jurisdictions around the globe.

We also offer advice and help to clients on such matters as, for example, cargo claims, insurance issues, handling warehousing, lien, retention, claims for freight, litigation and arbitration. Our lawyers often host seminars on topics related to transport and shipping law.
