Transportation & Logistics Law

Our firm has made a commitment to handling the multitude of legal matters regularly faced by transportation and logistics companies, both domestically and internationally. We serve as counsel to a broad and diverse range of commercial carriers and transportation and logistics companies. In addition to direct suppliers and users of such services, the firm regularly consults with local and national third-party brokers, intermediaries, and full-service logistic enterprises regarding litigation, transactional, and contractual requirements.

The transportation and logistics practice section regularly is called upon to provide advice, counsel, and representation regarding such diverse legal services as:

Logistics and supply-chain management transactions and contracts
Counseling brokers, forwarders, and other intermediaries about their duties in logistics transactions and how to approach vicarious liability
Handling cargo claims from the perspective of shipper, carrier, and broker
Litigation and alternative dispute resolution of complex logistics disputes
Safety requirements and related FMCSA actions against carriers
Cargo insurance and other indemnity protection issues
Licensing, registration, and other authorities
Third party logistics service contracts
Forming strategic alliances, including mergers and acquisitions
Employment, safety, and benefit issues

We know the transportation and logistics industry. We know the language, procedures, and practical realities of the transportation and logistics world. Our knowledge of the industry is supported by the firm’s presence in Memphis, Tennessee, one of the most dynamic and innovative centers for transportation and logistics anywhere in the world.

We know how to defend and resolve disputes. We have experience in mediation, arbitration, and other forms of alternative dispute resolution that can save costs otherwise incurred in litigation. But when necessary, we know how to pursue litigation in courts aggressively from beginning to end.
