Whether you are a carrier, shipper, third or fourth-party intermediary, with ESKPER Law, you can avoid legal roadblocks. We work with the transportation industry - freight and passengers by highway, rail, marine, and air.

EKSPER lawyers can help map the shortest route to success in transportation and logistics - business organization, contracts, compliance, and dispute resolution. Our full-service approach includes an analysis of all the legal issues and options available in transportation and logistics.

Furthermore, our knowledge encompasses all aspects of corporate shipping transactions including mergers and acquisitions, complex finance and leasing deals and ship sales, acquisitions, and charter transactions. Our shipping lawyers advise a range of clients on the full spectrum of international shipping finance including work for banks, lessors, brokers, owners, and operators worldwide.

We provide advice to all types of corporates on the risks and regulations surrounding the operation of ships and the carriage of goods and passengers by freight, together with environmental advice on new emissions regulations and possible carbon taxes. We also advise on anti-bribery, corruption, and sanctions issues as they affect the shipping industry.

In maritime litigation and disputes, our shipping lawyers are skilled in advising on all industry-related issues, including major casualties, marine insurance coverage claims, enforcement of security, and criminal prosecutions.

We act as Indonesian counsel to a number of major cross-border client or joint venture shipping companies operating in Indonesia and have assisted them in all aspects of their operations and licensing, including rendering assistance and advice on the establishment of joint venture companies; the opening of representative offices; the acquisition and sale of vessels; and mortgage encumbrances of vessels in favor of their lenders or our banking clients.
