When a trucking company’s problem holds up the supply chain of a multinational automotive manufacturer, or a strike deadline looms for a rail carrier, these legal emergencies demand a prompt, coordinated, multidisciplinary response, no matter the pressure of more routine matters. Only a national law firm with depth in transportation and logistics, and strength in environmental law, public policy, labour relations, aboriginal rights, and land assembly can handle the legal needs of an industry that serves every other industry in Canada, from coast to coast.

That law firm is Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP (FMC).

FMC’s Transportation Group has extensive experience and practical working knowledge in all dimensions of the transportation industry – aviation, rail, trucking, busing and shipping. Commercial agreements, licensing and regulatory matters, competition policy, environmental issues, free-trade and open-sky arrangements—these are all familiar territory for us. As a national, full service firm, we can bring in our labour relations, real estate, tax and securities lawyers whenever needed to give our clients seamless service across Canada. We know the industry, we know its regulators, and we know its suppliers. We use that knowledge to resolve our clients’ issues quickly and effectively, and implement strategies to ensure they are prepared for the future.
