Transport Terms & Conditions
Terms and conditions govern almost all business relationships in the transport and logistics sector. Well drafted terms and conditions will put your business is a stronger trading position and will provide certainty and peace of mind for both you and your customers.
It may be that your transport business is struggling under terms and conditions pushed on you by another party. We can seek to review and renegotiate these terms and conditions, whilst protecting your commercial relationships and good will.
We can also review any new terms and conditions that you are being asked to sign, advise you on any areas of concern, and propose alternatives.
We can also draft new terms and conditions for you to use with your customers, suppliers, or contractors.
Our commercial transport and logistics team take a straightforward, commercial approach to drafting or renegotiating terms and conditions.

Laura and Amy were professional and friendly from the Start. Laura put me at ease straight away and everything was explained to me in a manner that I understood. This is not the first time I have seen her, she organised Probate for me in 2024 and I wouldn't hesitate to use her again or recommend her.

I changed my solicitors to Rothera Bray and was allocated Sarah Gill to act for me. Sarah was superb! She motivated me to fight on, advised me on the law, guided me through the legal process and gave me confidence in court. It was a very difficult fight but together we achieved a most satisfactory conclusion. While Sarah was very professional, I felt she was my friend. She kept me focused and determined to see my fight through to the end. Thank you, Sarah. You are great.

I have been working with VUS Ltd for almost a year now following a DVSA Stop and subsequent MIVR they were recently summoned to an STL Meeting at The Office of Traffic Commissioner, I advised the MD of VUS that it would be advisable to get a specialist Transport Solicitor on board to assist with this matter. I always give the names of 2 different Solicitors to my client one being Georgina Power who I had worked with on a PI for Woodspace Ltd (t/a C Dart). Thank you again to Georgina who did a very professional job and I will contact her again when I need to.

I was put in contact with Georgina Power at Rothera Bray Solicitors following our request to attend an STL (Senior Team Leader meeting with the Traffic Commissioner). From the first conversation I was made to feel comfortable with both the professionalism along with the knowledge/experience to deal with our case. Throughout the process we were guided/advised in all area's along with the required expectations, a witness statement was prepared along with the required supporting evidence in advance of our case. At the STL meeting we were supported by Georgina verbally and on the back of this a positive outcome was achieved.

We had an excellent experience working with Amelia. She helped us with setting up trusts for our properties, gifting a property, and preparing our wills, all handled with great professionalism and clarity. Everything was completed to a tight deadline and Amelia ensured the process ran smoothly from start to finish. She also linked us with an accountant and arranged the necessary documentation for related activities and ongoing financial management, which made everything seamless and stress-free. We felt well supported throughout and would highly recommend Amelia’s services.

She maintained contact with us and updated us at each stage, extremely calm, empathetic and approachable at all times. She went out of her way to find information for us and keep us informed of the progress.
