Transportation & Warehousing

The lawyers of Miles & Stockbridge have significant experience in providing the broad array of legal services required by companies in the transportation sector. Whether a company is focused on aviation, rail, marine or trucking services, the likelihood is great that Miles & Stockbridge lawyers have successfully addressed the same issues and opportunities faced by that company.

We are experienced in providing a full range of corporate representation to trucking companies in matters including mergers and acquisitions, financing, labor issues, closures and bankruptcies. Our experience is extensive in representing national trucking companies and freight consolidators, and in assisting clients in dealing with collective bargaining and labor agreements.

In the railroad industry, we frequently handle transactions for the financing of locomotives, rolling stock and related equipment, and have represented both lessors and financial institutions, domestically and internationally, in connection with equipment leasing and financing transactions for entities such as Amtrak and Norfolk Southern Railroad Company.

Similarly, we represent clients in the financing of corporate and freight aircraft, and of blue water and brown water cargo vessels. We have also provided counsel to clients in related maritime activities, such as stevedores and tug and barge operators.

After a well-known intellectual property boutique law firm placed patent applications of major industrial packaging company on appeal to the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences, the company sought our assistance. Rather than continue the costly and time-consuming appeal process, we counseled the client to pursue the critical issues further with the patent examiner. We successfully persuaded the examiner to issue the patents, thereby avoiding a costly and time consuming appeal process and enabling the client to obtain the necessary patent protection.

When we represent a company in connection with an acquisition, we are frequently called upon to assist the company in obtaining the capital required to make the acquisition. Sometimes this can involve complicated financings and recapitalizations. For example, our firm represented a leading aviation company in connection with the purchase of assets of an aviation services and repair company valued at $150 million. In connection with the transaction, lawyers assisted the company with a senior subordinated note financing, a preferred stock private placement and a publicly registered solicitation of consents to modify the terms of outstanding public indebtedness.
