The transportation industry has always been subject to the vicissitudes of the global economy, and companies must be prepared to shift strategies as currency fluctuations and the ups and downs of national economies jostle the import-export equation across countries. Add to this the rising cost of fuel, a maze of growing regulations, environmental concerns, and the industry-altering impact of new technologies, and it is no surprise that transportation companies face significant challenges.
Gone are the days when a company could call on a single individual or even a handful of individuals to meet the full spectrum of its legal needs in the transportation arena. From real estate advice and vendor contracts to negotiating the intricacies of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, companies concerned with transporting goods have a host of legal issues that call for counsel with significant depth of experience.
At McGuireWoods, we have developed a cross-disciplinary team of professionals with deep industry knowledge and experience who represent domestic and international transportation clients in all aspects of their business operations, including:
We also counsel financial institutions, leasing companies, and other businesses in connection with domestic and international, single-investor and syndicated, leveraged and investment-grade loans, leveraged and single-investor leases, purchases and sales of assets, transportation contracts, and similar matters.
