Instant Access To On-Demand Lawyers and Legal Services For AscendTMS Clients.
Tampa, Florida – December 13, 2023 – AscendTMS and Taylor Nelson PL are proud to introduce the AscendTMS Legal Center, powered by Taylor Nelson PL. With the launch of this Legal Center, AscendTMS adds another first to its transportation platform, becoming the first-ever TMS to contain a Legal Center feature that provides direct access to a professional transportation lawyer.
The Legal Center is supported by the transportation and logistics law firm Taylor Nelson PL. As further detailed inside AscendTMS, paid subscribers of AscendTMS who are first introduced to Taylor Nelson PL through the Legal Center will gain access to special benefits such as free initial consultations, reduced retainers, and discounts on specified legal services. No other TMS on the planet offers a feature like this.
Even more important than the financial benefits and ease of access, AscendTMS users won’t have to rely on local law firms that may be unfamiliar with the specific laws, regulations, and industry practices that govern and impact their logistics or transportation business. Instead, subscribers can correspond directly through the AscendTMS Legal Center with specialized transportation and logistics lawyers who are intimately familiar with those specialized requirements and understand the industry, as well as the risks and opportunities facing their business. From transportation contracts, cargo claims, and freight pay disputes to insurance renewals, merger and acquisition opportunities, and everything in between, paid subscribers of AscendTMS will have the ability to seek immediate legal counsel from leading logistics counsel with just a few clicks.
Tim Higham, founder and CEO of AscendTMS, said, “Brokers and carriers need specialized legal professionals, and they often need them yesterday. So, in developing this one-of-a-kind Legal Center, it was important for AscendTMS not just to find some general practice law firm, but to find the leading firm with lawyers dedicated to, and experienced in, transportation and logistics law who can come in on day one and provide real guidance and solutions to our users. With Taylor Nelson’s partners having decades of combined in-house legal transportation experience, serving as general counsel and associate general counsel to TL carriers, LTL carriers, brokers, and large shippers, and in government roles, we knew that Taylor Nelson was the leading transportation law firm, and the only choice to be included in AscendTMS.”
Bryan Nelson, a partner with Taylor Nelson PL, celebrated the benefits of the Legal Center, saying, “The AscendTMS Legal Center is a truly groundbreaking feature, and Tim and his team have created something amazing and beneficial for its users. I believe it will provide immense value to the transportation and logistics industry by tearing down the barriers to representation and making it easy and efficient for industry participants to quickly connect with and receive counsel and guidance from attorneys laser-focused on transportation and logistics law. Our team is so proud to lead this Legal Center and provide our services to AscendTMS subscribers. What differentiates AscendTMS from other TMS providers, and allows for this innovative approach to be successful, is the day-in and day-out use of AscendTMS by the owners, executives, and other decision-makers of the motor carriers, brokers, freight forwarders, and shippers using AscendTMS.”
AscendTMS and Taylor Nelson understand that EVERYONE in the transportation and logistics industry needs legal representation on a regular basis. So, whether you need a shipper contract reviewed, assistance with defending or filing a cargo claim, counsel regarding a coverage dispute with your insurer, or help in the defense of a motor vehicle accident, with just a few clicks, the AscendTMS Legal Center makes specialized transportation counsel available to you, saving you time from having to track down lawyers that understand the business you’re in!
