Transport

Every single farming business is affected by transport issues. Whether it relates to the haulage of produce, operator's licences, the safe movement of employees, transportation of animals or simply moving machinery, there is a whole raft of legislation, with which farm businesses must comply.

We have a team of lawyers at Clarke Willmott LLP led by Tim Hayden and Jamie Foster, who work within the wider agriculture team to advise and represent any farming clients who face transport issues. With the experience of Tim Hayden, who is a Transport Commissioner for England and Wales and the higher rights of audience awarded to both Tim and Jamie, they can offer expert advice on all motoring and transport matters and are able personally to defend clients in all proceedings.

Our services include:

• Operator's licences - from first applications to full Traffic Commissioner hearings
• VOSA investigations and prosecutions
• Transportation of animals and all associated Animal Welfare Act and animal transportation regulation investigations and proceedings
• All road traffic matters from speeding and unsafe loads to causing death by dangerous driving
