Kers­tin Kers­tin ad­vi­ses and re­pres­ents our cli­ents on all mat­ters of ship­ping and trans­port law.

Thanks to her trai­ning as a ship­ping pro­fes­sio­nal and her stu­dies in in­ter­na­tio­nal trans­port ma­nage­ment, she knows ship­ping from the in­si­de.

A par­ti­cu­lar fo­cus of her prac­ti­ce is the le­gal hand­ling of com­plex ma­ri­ti­me ca­su­al­ties and claims. Kers­tin has ex­pe­ri­ence in pro­vi­ding out-of-court ad­vice as well as in the li­ti­ga­ti­on, en­force­ment, and de­fence of claims.
