Transport and Logistics
Challenges and needs
The conditions for the transport of passengers and cargo are changing rapidly both in Denmark and abroad. Environmental and occupational health requirements are continuously being tightened, merchants demand timely and safe transport, and the general public expects sustainable transport solutions. The sector as a whole needs to constantly focus on the optimisation of its operations. This is the case as regards the performance of transportation tasks, as well as organisational and legal matters, including the choice of corporate structure and the drafting of business terms. The sector, therefore, requires legal advice on a wide selection of areas, including as regards dialogue with public authorities and within the fields of company, finance, tax and contract law.
