Transportation Laws
Brokers, shippers & carriers
Holmes & Wiseley, P.C. is a transportation law firm that maintains a national practice in the area of commercial transportation law. In particular, our firm represents brokers, shippers, and carriers and helps them assert their rights during disputes and oversees important transaction and contractual arrangements.
We help our clients resolve a variety of legal issues within transportation law:
- Shipping disputes
- Cargo disputes
- Broker-carrier-shipper contracts
- Collections - section 7 of the uniform motor carrier bill of lading
There are a lot of things that can and do go wrong in the business of hauling freight—everything from contaminated loads, en-route accidents, to breaches of contractual arrangements that can leave inadequately insured carriers holding a six-figure bill. We protect our clients’ rights when problems arise and also routinely act as legal advisors to plan ahead to avoid legal complications.
Transportation Law - A National Practice
Our firm is located in Grand Rapids, Michigan and maintains an active national practice. Because of our close proximity to Canada our practice has, for years, included cross-border disputes and consulting for matters of regulatory compliance.
We provide assistance for matters involving Homeland Security inspection protocol and consult on matters of border-crossing as well as international business contracts and transactions.
