 Experience

We are members of the Road Haulage Association and have been an approved member of the Road Haulage Association Law Plan Panel since1997. During this time we have gained extensive experience in advising on the whole range of legal issues that affect the Road Haulage Industry.

Our specialist team is able to provide informed specialist advice across Wales. The team keeps abreast of developments within the industry and focuses on building strong relationships with our clients so as to gain a real understanding of their organisations. 

With the rising cost of fuel and the inevitable pressures on profitability, we understand the need to respond quickly and provide sound commercial advice. We are committed to adding real value to the businesses we advise.  

 The management of commercial vehicles has grown increasingly complex. The legal obligations of holding an Operators license are strict and the government is often introducing new rules and regulations. 

We understand the issues that concern Operators, including the management of drivers’ hours, the introduction of new Health and Safety legislation and employment laws. 

We regularly represent both drivers and Operators in the Magistrates Courts and in Public Inquiries before the Traffic Commissioner.
We provide a business support service in relation to Health and Safety Law and Employment Law which includes a fixed fee option and a 24 hour, 365 day a year advice line. We understand the need to be available to advise you when and where you want.
