About

Provided by Benesch

The Benesch Transportation & Logistics Group is nationally preeminent and was specifically created to address the needs of users and providers of transportation and logistics services. This multidisciplinary group of transactional, regulatory, and litigation attorneys, like so many others within the firm, services clients nationally and internationally.

We have significant experience in transportation and logistics management, in all transportation modes, on a regional, national, and global basis. Seven of the Group’s attorneys were formerly in the transportation industry, working in-house at various motor carriers and freight forwarders for decades. Consequently, we are also able to provide valuable industry perspectives and a deep and broad historical knowledge of the regulatory and legal regime. Our firm also has specific expertise in supply chain, logistics management, and warehousing related issues. By its very nature, the transportation industry is labor intensive. Thus, our labor and employment law skill sets are an integral part of the Transportation & Logistics Group.

Benesch is one of the few law firms in the country that not only has a full service Transportation & Logistics Practice Group, but also represents entities all along the transportation continuum and in all modes of transportation.
