The shipping team at Vinge Advokatfirman KB provides key advice to clients, focusing on contentious work, including disputes regarding damages, charter parties, and lease termination, but also with strong skills in handling non-contentious matters. Practice head Michele Fara regularly advises both domestic and international clients in litigation and arbitration matters, and is often supported by Ninos Aho, an expert with broad knowledge of the shipping sector. Another key member of the team is Paula Bäckdén; she brings further knowledge of contract drafting, re-flagging issues, and ship sales.
