# road transport legislation — Legal Counsel

As Legal Counsel, 'road transport legislation' isn’t about *knowing* every regulation – it’s about rapidly applying that knowledge to practical business problems for clients operating in the road haulage or logistics sectors. Daily tasks involve advising on compliance with things like driver hours (EU regulations 561/2009 & amendments), vehicle weights and dimensions, dangerous goods transport (ADR), cabotage rules, cross-border documentation requirements (CMR notes, customs declarations), and increasingly complex environmental standards (Euro emissions zones, low emission zones). You'll be drafting and reviewing contracts – haulage agreements, sub-contractor arrangements – ensuring they allocate risk appropriately regarding compliance failures. Think less 'memorizing articles', more 'identifying the relevant legal framework for a specific transport scenario'.
