About

The legal affairs of Kuehne + Nagel Group, a global transportation and logistics company, are led by group general counsel Marc Pfeffer. With over 63,000 employees at more than 1,000 locations in over 100 countries, the Kuehne + Nagel Group is one of the world’s leading logistics companies. Its strong market position lies in the sea freight, airfreight, contract logistics and overland businesses, with a clear focus on providing IT-based integrated logistics solutions. The trend towards consolidation through mergers and acquisitions picked up pace in 2015 and the legal team has played a substantial role handling issues in the global economic environment and sometimes abrupt and disruptive developments for the company. Pfeffer has successfully led a major refinancing and recapitalisation of the Swiss listed group in order to continue in line with its strategic objectives. Furthermore, the legal team were involved in the company’s regional merge of “Central Europe”, “North West Europe” and “Southwest Europe” into one single region of “West Europe”.
