Pellys Transport & Regulatory Law aims to offer our Transport Clients a "one-stop shop" for legal services. As well as being experts in dealing with all contentious issues, such as Public Inquires and DVSA prosecutions that may affect your business, we are able to advise and help with other, more "every-day" business matters.
For instance, it really is as important to instruct a lawyer who has specialist transport expertise when purchasing or selling a transport business or its assets (including its operating centre land), as it is to instruct an expert transport lawyer when facing a criminal prosecution or call up to Public Inquiry.
Many operators purchase businesses without having any idea of the problems in store for them on the compliance side when they come into possession of the new business, or may sell their current business too cheaply because they do not know how to present it in order to maximise its commercial appeal. Our knowlege of the legal aspects, coupled with our extensive practical knowledge of how transport businesses work can ensure this doesn't happen to you.
Pellys Transport & Regulatory Law can advise on all aspects of financial agreements both before and after they have been taken out and on all aspects of the conditions found in any such agreement and their legal implications as well as upon conditions which operators should insist should be included in any future finance agreement.
Because Pellys Transport & Regulatory Law specialise in advising and representing transport operators we are in the best position to help you achieve the best price when it comes to buying or selling a transport undertaking or its assets.
Give us a call now on 01279 818280 to talk through how we may help you.
