Our Capabilities
Railroad legal issues come in various shapes. Our goal is always to provide value to our clients and enable them to continue to thrive in this competitive industry. Our firm can help clients with:
- Regulatory compliance. The rail industry remains heavily regulated, with layers of regulations piling up over the decades. Our firm offers counseling to clients on how new or old regulations impact their business and help them devise compliance programs.
- Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) enforcement proceedings. Any government enforcement proceeding risks spiraling out of control. Once you are on the FRA’s radar, then you must immediately hire an experienced attorney to act as your voice. Burdensome document and data production requirements are now the norm, but the risk of noncompliance is serious. We can provide objective analysis about your risks in any enforcement proceeding.
- Our law firm can assist rail companies with vendor-supply agreements, transportation contracts, and other agreements. It is to your benefit to work with an attorney deeply experienced in transportation law generally, and railroad law specifically. We also provide analysis of possible breaches, which might lead to contract litigation.
- Labor and employment. The rail industry has unique labor laws, which we can advise our clients on. Our firm is also prepared to defend clients in labor and employment investigations or legal actions. We can also assist with whistleblower protection issues under OSHA.
- Disputes often proceed to litigation when a mutual resolution is impossible. Atkins Brezina, PLLC, can represent clients in federal and state courts, as well as arbitration panels on a variety of issues, including product liability, contract, or personal injury disputes. We excel at devising litigation strategies which account for a variety of client concerns, including risk and cost, as well as reputational concerns.
These are some of the most critical legal issues in railroad law. Our legal team can assist in these and other transportation-related legal issues if you call us.
