Just a week after its launch in the British Virgin Islands, global law firm Holman Fenwick Willan (HFW) is set to open a new office in Denmark.

Shipping expert Jens Mathiasen will oversee the firm's launch in Copenhagen. According to his LinkedIn profile, Mathiasen spent almost 20 years at independent Danish firm Gorrissen Federspiel as a partner and headed up the firm's shipping, offshore and transportation practice.
