Transportation
Transportation is an essential part of every industry in our economy — from the shipping of goods to merchants and customers, the sharing of information among businesses, to the movement of people across our country. We are committed to protecting the interests of shipping and transportation companies, including railroads, freight forwarders, federal motor carriers, and freight brokers. But every business encounters transportation issues and we represent all types of businesses in this area. Our attorneys have a deep understanding of the complex issues in the transportation area. We are active members in a variety of nationally recognized transportation organizations. Our attorneys also regularly attend industry conferences to invest in continuing education and keep informed of industry trends and changes in transportation law.
