# railway law — Legal Counsel

As Legal Counsel dealing with railway law, it's less about memorizing track gauge regulations and more about managing risk across a complex web of safety, access, and liability issues. Daily work frequently involves reviewing and drafting contracts – think track usage agreements, rolling stock leases, infrastructure maintenance deals, and crucially, indemnity clauses related to accidents or delays. You’ll be interpreting EU directives (like the Railway Safety Directive) transposed into national law, alongside specific railway regulations unique to your jurisdiction. Expect a lot of interface with safety authorities and potentially dealing with investigations following incidents.
