Transport Contracts & Agreements
Commercial contracts and agreements underpin almost all business relationships in the transport and logistics sector. The likelihood is that the commercial agreements with your customers, suppliers, contractors and agents will govern your business model. Whether these were drafted on your behalf or not, it is crucial that you understand both the content, implications and constraints of these agreements.
Our commercial transport and logistics team take a no-nonsense, commercial approach to drafting or renegotiating your contracts and agreements. Whilst our ultimate aim is to offer you good business protection, we also understand the human aspect to any business relationship and always negotiate with an eye on maintaining and advancing your commercial relationships.
We can:
- Review any new agreements you are being asked to sign and advise you on any risks and implications, and on your options,
- Seek to renegotiate existing agreements and contracts on your behalf,
- Draft entirely new contracts for you to use both within your business and with third parties.

Excellent service and advice from Lauren Kilbride at Rothera Bray Solicitors. Her advice was comprehensive, timely and professionally given. It made my decision making easy and the advice was delivered in language easy to understand. I would have no hesitation in seeking her services again should I require them.

Since 2017 Carol Freeman and her assistant Gail Garner have dealt with the selling and buying of a number of properties for me for personal and bereavement reasons. They have been excellent and I can’t praise them enough. Thoroughly professional, reassuring and patient. I have complete trust in them.

Julekha was a breath of fresh air as a conveyancing solicitor, she always had time for my many questions, was super efficient and constantly kept us up to date. Her time scale was excellent, although we could only go as fast as everyone else in the chain. Her Paralegal Sarrina Mills was also a real pleasure to deal with. Over all I would definitely recommend using them. Thank you

Ed was efficient and professional for a matter that needed to be sorted reasonably urgently. He was incredibly accommodating for meetings and explained the procedure and meanings of things very well so that I was able to make clear and informed decisions about what was suitable for me and my partner. Thank you.

We used Julekha Nathani's services in buying our house over the last year. My husband and I found her communication clear and helpful. I would recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a house.
