Transport

The legal rules governing the various forms of transport are extensive and complex, and therefore give rise to countless questions about interpretation.

Our practice group has thorough knowledge of the rules, standard terms and conditions, and practices governing transport-related legal issues, regardless of whether the form of transport in question is sea, air, rail or road. Our knowledge is based on extensive experience built on many years of case-handling for Danish and foreign cargo and liability insurance companies, including P&I clubs, cargo owners and carriers.

Inevitably, transport is an international activity, which means that disputes commonly include questions about choice of law and proper venue. Our specialists are familiar with foreign rules and procedure and cooperate with independent, foreign-based specialist lawyers – so that we can quickly provide you with the best advice.

Load damage claims
