Logistics legal advice

The logistics sector has seen dramatic change over the past few years, with growth opportunities arising from an increase in online purchasing due to the global pandemic, the implications of Brexit and the speed at which the accompanying technology is evolving. At Tees we have been advising logistics businesses for many years- we advise global players in the industry, right down to owner-managed businesses and start-ups. We work closely with you to understand your unique needs and circumstances, so we can offer the best advice and help you achieve your goals.
