We have found that more and more of our clients are involved in e-commerce fulfillment, distribution and last-mile services. We handle sophisticated issues in this sector every single day, including drafting and negotiating contracts for last-mile delivery service providers, counseling on development of operational structures with value-added service providers, drafting warehouse fulfillment contracts that support those operations, and ensuring that those models for the last mile do not run afoul of regulatory authorities. Litigation unfortunately does ensue and will only grow in prevalence as more and more logistics service providers enter the last-mile market. The facts and circumstances of these cases are new and interesting due to the dramatic evolution in delivery models and consumer preferences!
