The Benesch Transportation & Logistics Group is nationally preeminent and was specifically created to address the needs of users and providers of transportation and logistics services. This multidisciplinary group of transactional, regulatory, and litigation attorneys, like so many others within the firm, services clients nationally and internationally.

Benesch received the distinction of being named Transportation Law Firm of the Year by Best Lawyers® “Best Law Firms” for 2025. We also received this recognition in 2014, 2016, 2017, 2020, 2022 and 2023. Only one law firm per practice area in the U.S. receives this recognition each year, making this award a particularly significant achievement. Additionally, for the twelfth consecutive year (2014-2025), Benesch received a national first-tier ranking in Transportation Law by Best Lawyers® “Best Law Firms.” The Best Lawyers® “Best Law Firms” rankings are based on an evaluation process that includes the collection of client and lawyer evaluations and peer review from leading attorneys in their field. Our Transportation practice is also nationally recognized by Chambers®. Since 1990, Chambers has published the world’s leading guides to the legal profession and has built a reputation for in-depth, objective research. Chambers ranks lawyers and law firms on several factors and considerations, all of which are investigated by a team of more than 170 researchers.

We have significant experience in transportation and logistics management, in all transportation modes, on a regional, national, and global basis. Seven of the Group’s attorneys were formerly in the transportation industry, working in-house at various motor carriers and freight forwarders for decades. Consequently, we are also able to provide valuable industry perspectives and a deep and broad historical knowledge of the regulatory and legal regime. Our firm also has specific expertise in supply chain, logistics management, and warehousing related issues.  By its very nature, the transportation industry is labor intensive. Thus, our labor and employment law skill sets are an integral part of the Transportation & Logistics Group. Also, we have deep experience with cargo claims, vehicular casualty work, environmental claims, coverage disputes, freight charge disputes, freight intermediary issues, transportation and warehouse contracting, regulatory matters, acquisitions, restructuring, and subrogation work.
