Transportation Law: Moving Forward is a comprehensive blog that covers the Transportation sector—from air (aviation ranging from passenger and cargo planes to a UAS/drones, eVTOLs and space), to land (automotive, trucking, and rail, including autonomous and electric vehicles and rail cars) and to sea (cargo), as well as efficient supply chain, intelligent infrastructure, and warehousing. This blog provides legal and policy insights and updates on regulatory compliance and developments; labor and employment matters; trade and supply chain challenges; contract disputes; product liability, regulatory and consumer protection advice, enforcement, and litigation; rail, hazardous materials, and environmental litigation; fast-moving technology (including AI); and more. This blog also considers Congressional and federal agency agenda items and actions that impact the Transportation industry.

Government Experience. Our team’s government experience, including at Department of Transportation (DOT), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA); Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Customs and Border Protection (CBP); and Department of Justice, Tax Division, provides them with useful insights into the regulations that govern the transportation industry, as well as connections at the agencies. Our team’s Congressional experience helps with understanding Congressional activity and supports our policy and advocacy services.

Our team members often speak at industry events.

Leaning Into the Future. Our Transportation team is ready to help with development and use of AI, such as autonomous vehicles and rail solutions; predicative maintenance and incident trending; infrastructure opportunities; responsible transport of hazardous waste; climate change mitigation mechanisms through EVs, biofuel, and ESG; and development of strategies to combat data risks and privacy concerns, and beyond.
