Transport Regulatory legal team
Many clients rely on various modes of transport as part of their commercial offering. We can assist when transport arrangements come under the consideration of the regulator or the police.
Our lawyers regularly advise on Operator Licensing
We advise clients that have been called to a Public Inquiry by the Traffic Commissioner. In our experience, proper preparation prior to any such hearing will achieve the best outcome for the operator. We have worked with operators called to a Public Inquiry for a range of concerns, including poor maintenance, unauthorised transport operations and issues relating to good repute and professional competence.
We also support businesses dealing with operator licence administration relating to legal requirements and corporate transactions.
Lawyers advising on the law surrounding driving offences
We have supported individual drivers facing individual prosecutions for offences including dangerous driving, careless driving and serious speeding offences. This work has included contested trials.
Experienced Transport lawyers advising on fleet management
We have advised clients on their documented systems and practices for managing their fleet, from commercial vehicles to private vehicles being used ‘for business’. Such advice covers issues including insurance, driver licensing checks, working hours and the provision of suitable vehicles.
