Transport
“Our highly respected Transport Team is recognised for its ability to defend clients when prosecuted. We often appear before the Traffic Commissioners at Public Inquiries and also assist with wider regulatory issues.” David Thompson, Managing Partner
The Corporate Manslaughter and Homicide Bill 2006 will create a new criminal offence of corporate manslaughter. This directly affects the haulage industry and has clear implications for how you run your business.
We advise haulage companies, their directors, transport managers and drivers on the regulatory, licensing and insurance side of the industry, including assistance with health and safety and environmental issues. Our clients regularly seek our advice on tachograph offences, vehicle condition and overloading.
Our team is consistently recognised by independent research. One team member has been praised for her “extensive knowledge in the field of health and safety,” (Chambers UK 2006). The team itself “‘brings together the quality and qualities’ its clients require’ (Chambers UK 2007).
Team head, David Thompson, is solicitor for the Road Haulage Association Central and Southern England. He and his colleagues are experienced advocates at Inquests, magistrates’ courts and Public Inquiries. Our specialist transport advocates know the haulage sector well. We have a keen awareness of our clients’ commercial pressures and the need to meet regulatory authorities’ timescales.
