NautaDutilh demonstrates strength in both transactional and contentious transport mandates, acting for clients in the maritime, road and aviation sectors. The transport practice draws upon four co-leads: Erik Geerling advises leading players on renewable shipping matters across multiple jurisdictions; Kasper Krzeminski is renowned for his arbitration expertise; Marc Orval bolsters the practice with his restructuring background; and Jaco Belder is a key contact among notable international banks for his capabilities in ship financing mandates. Maaike Heijink is of note for her experience dealing with both secured and revolving credit facilities.
