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.

Marika Whiteman took over our case, and she was quick, professional, and extremely efficient. Thanks to Marika, the purchase was completed within just two weeks. I only wish she had handled the case from the beginning. I would highly recommend Marika Whiteman as a commercial solicitor.

I recently spoke with David from Rothera Bray, found him and the whole team to be very helpful and professional. Dealing with a solicitor is not something most people have to do on a day to day basis and the team made it as easy and smooth as possible. Highly recommended.

As a family, we have used Rothera Bray on legal matters on several occasions and most recently working with Talita on drafting Wills. She was professional, responded in a timely manner, communicated clearly and took on board any questions we had; we felt well supported throughout the process. Thank you Talita.

I recently used Rothera Bray, as I usually do for all my affairs, to draft my Last Will in Testament, and I was extremely impressed with the service I received throughout the entire process. The team, especially Julie Graham, were professional, approachable, and incredibly patient in answering all of my questions and putting me at ease. Julie took the time to explain everything clearly, which made what I anticipated to be a stressful process, feel straightforward and reassuring. I particularly appreciated her attention to detail and the care shown in making sure my wishes were fully understood and accurately reflected. Communication was swift and excellent from start to finish, and I always felt I was in safe and capable hands. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for professional and reliable legal support for Will writing and estate planning. Thanks as Always.
