New legal service will support logistics sector

Legal: Prettys Solicitors

That approach is especially important for businesses operating within the logistics, transport, warehousing and supply chain industries.

With an increasingly intricate regulatory and commercial environment, those companies need legal partners who understand how the industry works in practice, not just in law.

With that in mind, we are pleased to announce the launch of a dedicated Logistics Sector Legal Service, which brings together expert solicitors in corporate, commercial, property, construction, employment and dispute resolution. This team of professionals delivers specialist support and joined-up legal solutions that help businesses manage challenges and seize opportunities.

Comprehensive support

The Prettys logistics team works with companies ranging from haulage firms and freight forwarders to warehouse operators and logistics property developers. And the new Logistics Sector Legal Service provides these clients with a full suite of strategic support, including:

• Corporate and commercial contracts. Drafting and advising on supply, distribution, warehousing, storage and fulfilment contracts, as well as specialist logistics-sector agreements including RHA and BIFA standard terms, bespoke commercial contracts and IT systems procurement.
• Commercial property and development. Guidance on land acquisition, strategic site due diligence, development agreements, construction procurement, risk management and transactions related to warehouses, hubs, terminals and logistics facilities.
• Construction and dispute resolution. Legal support from acquisition through to operation, including contract management, dispute support and fixed price construction legal packages.
• Employment law services. Practical advice on workforce management, sector-specific compliance, TUPE, recruitment, disciplinary procedures and employment policies.

Specialist counsel

Prettys Solicitors LLP has been providing expert legal advice to businesses and individual clients since 1906, and the launch of this specialist service reaffirms our commitment to providing sector-focused legal expertise that helps UK businesses thrive.

We understand the operational realities of running logistics and haulage businesses, and our goal is to deliver not only legal advice, but practical solutions that support our clients’ commercial objectives.

In short, we don’t just offer legal advice – we deliver solutions that help your business move forward.

Whether negotiating complex contracts, resolving disputes or managing people-related legal risks, we want to help logistics businesses stay agile and compliant in a competitive marketplace.
