The transportation sector continues to evolve at a remarkable speed. New technologies, new regulatory requirements, and new expectations around speed, efficiency, and transparency are reshaping how people and goods move around the globe. Reed Smith’s integrated, global Transportation Industry Group helps stakeholders to adapt quickly and confidently within these changing operational, regulatory, and commercial environments.
Our lawyers work across all sectors, products, and geographies within transportation: from equity investments to regulatory compliance, asset trading to incident response, securitizations to complex disputes, as well as leasing, asset management, and the construction of new ships and aircraft. With a team of both transactional attorneys and litigators, which includes master mariners and pilots, we are trusted by leading owners, operators, lenders, and investors in aviation, shipping, logistics, LNG, and offshore oil and gas. Much of our practice is shaped by the representation and requirements of private equity, private credit, and alternative investors to the industry–whether in transactional matters or disputes.
We also help clients navigate emerging technologies and complex international legal frameworks, positioning them to act with confidence in a rapidly changing transportation landscape. Trusted advisors to boards and leading individuals throughout the sector, our lawyers work seamlessly across geographies and time zones to identify and solve problems for our clients, using our deep know-how and experience to deliver tangible value to the industry.
