Western Canada-based law firm MLT Aikins has been announced as the latest CITT-Endorsed Business Partner. Offering services and expertise catered to transportation & logistics companies, MLT Aikins is the first law firm to receive CITT’s formal endorsement as a business partner. This endorsement is given to organizations serving the transportation sector which demonstrate deep industry knowledge and an established commitment to client service and collaboration.
“The transportation business has always been complex in terms of regulation and contracts” says Pina Melchionna, President & CEO of CITT. “However, it’s fair to say that it’s never been more fraught than today. Quickly evolving regulation and trade agreements, as well the need for exceptional diligence in contracts of all sorts means that companies in transportation and distribution require legal expertise – both for risk mitigation and to make prudent decisions.” She continues “Canada’s Logistics Association is very pleased to endorse MLT Aikins and to recommend their expertise to the industry.”
“When it comes to logistics groups, there simply is no better choice than CITT” says Sean MacLachlan a Partner at MLT Aikins, of the endorsement. “With a proven track record of excellence and emphasis on developing a robust network of logistics professionals, there’s a reason they’re Canada’s Logistics Association.”
“Similarly” Mr MacLachlan elaborates, “MLT Aikins has a longstanding commitment to the logistics industry. Our transportation lawyers have extensive experience supporting logistics providers on the drive for success and are routinely called on for advice to support all aspects of business. Our commercial lawyers work proactively to assist with contract drafting and negotiation, mergers and acquisitions, real estate leasing, acquisition and divestiture and development, workforce management, tax planning and regulatory compliance. Our advisory lawyers are sought after to support collections, cargo loss or damage claims, insurance claims and all other commercial disputes.
“We understand that customer expectations demand sophisticated logistics solutions, and long-successful business models are now facing headwinds from emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, alternative fuel sources and autonomous vehicles, among others. These developments, on top of added complexity from ever-changing government regulations and economic headwinds, create a host of unique challenges that require a legal team that understands the industry and can deliver practical advice and service excellence through every mile.”
