Logistics
Many businesses outsource their logistics to a specialist provider. It goes without saying that failure to get products to market can have dire consequences for most businesses. Accordingly the contractual terms governing the arrangements between a customer and a logistics provider can be business critical. We have considerable experience of acting for logistics providers as well as customers. Our experience covers both transport and warehousing agreements together with their related service level agreements.
Because we see deals from both sides, our logistics lawyers know where to find quickly the pressure points and bear pits. We can also give clients a realistic feel for the commercial norms.
The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 apply to many logistics agreements which means staff may transfer from a customer to a logistics provider or from one logistics provider to another. We help clients through this particular minefield and build appropriate protections within their contract documentation.
