One of Denmark’s largest law firms Gorrissen Federspiel and Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping have signed a partnership agreement as a formal recognition of their joint work towards the decarbonisation of the global maritime industry.
“Decarbonising shipping requires changing an entire business system and as a leading shipping law firm, Gorrissen Federspiel knows the complexity of the maritime ecosystem and the considerations and concerns that the shipping companies face in this transition,” said Bo Cerup-Simonsen, Center’s CEO upon announcing the partnership.
As a knowledge partner, Gorrissen Federspiel will contribute to the Center’s work with in-kind resources, such as extensive sparring, knowledge sharing, and networking opportunities including actively connecting the Center to relevant companies, policymakers, international institutions, and philanthropic institutions.
The law company has been acting as a legal partner to the Center since its beginning in 2020 and the knowledge partnership has now further strengthened their close relationship.
“Gorrissen Federspiel has been on board since the establishment of the Center, and we remain strongly committed to supporting its commendable mission. Through our legal advice, we help create the framework for companies’ sustainable transformation, which is a major focus area for us,” stated Søren Høgh Thomsen, who is a partner in Gorrissen Federspiel.
