Transportation & Logistics

The business of transportation and logistics is more than warehousing and moving cargo from one place to another. It is about relationships - relationships with customers, employees, lenders, government, current owners and future owners, and the general public. Those relationships often become challenging and complex. Our Transportation & Logistics attorneys assist our clients in maintaining those relationships and in doing so develop long-term relationships with businesses and their owners. Our transportation and logistics clients provide best-in-class trucking, brokerage, and warehousing solutions, including: industry leading technology, truckload and LTL (less than truckload) brokerage, Foreign Trade Zone, food grade operations, and nationwide coverage.

A Team Approach Providing a Full Range of Services

Our attorneys frequently work with trucking companies, owner operators, and transportation and logistics companies to address many of their complex relationships in realms of business transactions, litigation, regulatory compliance, and labor and employment matters. Our Transportation & Logistics attorneys can assist, including in the areas of:

• Real estate purchase, sale, and leasing, including warehouse leasing
• Drafting, analyzing and revising commercial contracts
• Commercial litigation of contract disputes
