Jameson Legal x Birketts | The next shock: is your logistics business ready?
The past year has tested the resilience of logistics businesses across the UK. Recent tensions affecting shipping routes in the Gulf highlighted just how directly global instability can hit fuel costs, margins and supply chains - and it won't be the last shock the sector has to absorb.
Join Jameson Legal and Birketts for a lunch discussion exploring what this recent disruption has taught the industry, and how legal planning can help road transport businesses build resilience against similar shocks in future.
Joined by Matthew Stratton, Partner, and Alex Davey, Partner, from Birketts, a UK Top 50 law firm with a specialist transport and logistics team.
