At Burke Elphick & Mead™ we have a team of skilled and experienced lawyers who are very familiar with the complex workings of the Road Transport legislation. Our Transport Law Team understands the onerous requirements that legislation places on all road freight users, in relation to their responsibilities for safety.
In particular, our lawyers have experience with the requirements for compliance under the “chain of responsibility” legislation. Our Transport Law Team understands that those obligations extend beyond drivers and operators to include the entire supply chain including consignors, packers, loaders and consignees.
Our team has expertise in Transport Law matters including:
- Mmass, dimension or load restraint prosecutions,
- ‘Reasonable steps’ defences,
- Advice on fatigue management compliance and prosecutions,
- Drafting supply, long haul service and subcontract agreements,
- Employee agreements including under the National Employment Scheme,
- Driver licensing appeals and traffic infringements generally,
- Liability based litigation including workplace safety law/occupational health and safety, industrial accidents, salvage and collisions, and
- Dispute resolution.
At Burke Elphick & Mead™, we provide clear, accurate and prompt advice in relation to all your road transport issues.
