Langleys launch niche road transport law offering

York-based Langleys Solicitors LLP have expanded with a new division specialising in road transport regulation.

Two commercial lawyers at Langleys will provide the niche expertise for the division, both with extensive experience in road transport projects.

Jeremy Scott, regulatory partner with Langleys for over 10 years, and a nationally recognised commentator on the management of work related road safety, heads the team.

He is joined by David Chant, who recently joined Langleys from Leeds firm Ford & Warren.

David has acted on behalf of some of the UK’s largest operators of heavy goods vehicles and public service vehicles.

Both lawyers have extensive experience in dealing with HSE, the police and VOSA investigations and prosecutions into a wide range of road traffic offences, from speeding and overloading at one end of the spectrum, to death by dangerous driving and gross negligence manslaughter at the other.

Jeremy Scott commented: “Having spoken to a number of our clients in the road transport sector we have recognised a growing need for expert legal advice and representation. I am delighted that David will play an instrumental role in servicing this growing need.

“His experience in this niche area of the law adds class-leading expertise to the regulatory and corporate defence services we offer to our clients in the road transport sector.”
