CM is launching a free legal clinic at the forthcoming CV Show in
Birmingham. Patric Cunnane explains how operators can claim a
free consultation with an expert road transport lamer.
The legal section was launched in new-look CM last September and has generated a huge amount of interest from operators keen to get their legal queries resolved through our regular Q&A page, or who have contacted us to suggest subjects that concern them. Hence our recent feature on trading standards which has given many of you the ammunition to complain about poor goods or services (29.1anuary), or last week's feature on phoenix companies explaining how rogue directors ripping off our industry can be taken to task.
Now even more help is at hand. CM is offering operators a no-string-attached free legal clinic during the Commercial Vehicle Show at the NEC. Birmingham on 23-35 March. Lawyers from three firms specialising in road transport law will be on hand to offer a free one-to-one, half-hour consultation to visitors to CM 's stand during the three-day show.
Whether your question is about licensing, drivers' hours, axle weights, the Working Time Directive, the penalty points system, employment legislation, public inquiries, appeals tribunals or any other matter concerning road transport law, our experts will endeavour to provide an answer.
GM's legal editor Patric Cunnane will also be on hand to meet readers and learn what issues need more in-depth coverage to help you keep your business legal, professional and profitable.
