Employment & HR Solutions

Managing people in the road transport industry presents unique challenges.

Unlike other sectors, operators must navigate employment law alongside transport-specific rules such as drivers’ hours regulations and the O-Licence regime. External bodies like the Traffic Commissioner, DVSA, and Police play a crucial role, making compliance even more important for HR professionals and business owners.

Our specialist solicitors combine employment law with industry-specific regulations, ensuring you remain compliant while effectively managing your people.
