The automotive and road transport sector faces distinct regulation that requires specialist knowledge. The automotive industry covers a broad spectrum of businesses from manufacturers to hauliers. Stephensons has experience of representing a cross section of businesses within this sector giving our experience a true depth of knowledge.
As well as the areas of law that face every business, our dedicated road transport team represents drivers and haulage/passenger service operators in relation to a variety of prosecutions brought by both the police and The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) in the area of road transport law. In addition, the team frequently appears at Public Inquiries representing drivers and operators.
Stephensons have a track record of success in achieving results for clients in both the Courts and at Public Inquiry as well as in the recovery of vehicles impounded by DVSA under Regulation 3 of the Goods Vehicles (Enforcement) Regulations 2001.
We also offer a consultant service for those wishing to take a proactive approach to compliance with operator licensing and road transport law.
