We are involved in dynamic, high profile transport initiatives across the UK, helping to shape developments in the sector and advise operators, infrastructure providers and public authorities.
We provide support to clients on the full range of legal issues affecting their transport businesses, including commercial contracts, infrastructure provision, regulatory and compliance including health and safety, and vehicle funding and acquisition. Our transport clients include operators, government agencies, local authorities, contractors, insurers and funders, and full sectoral coverage from road to rail to air to marine.
The Brodies team have an unrivalled knowledge of the transport discipline, for example in relation to statutory process in the planning of linear transport infrastructure projects. They have a can-do-attitude and no issue or timescale seems to ever be a problem. In terms of value for money, they cannot be faulted. Highly recommended.
