Firm Profile
Scopelitis, Garvin, Light, Hanson & Feary serves the legal and business needs of the transportation industry on a full-service basis. With offices strategically located in many major cities throughout the United States, we offer advice and counsel to more than 5,000 transportation-related clients in the 48 contiguous states. Our capabilities rest upon the collective experience of attorneys who have represented motor carriers, private carriers, shippers, brokers, logistics companies, and trucking insurers for over 30 years. In short, a sense of history and a thorough understanding of the transportation industry shape the Scopelitis firm’s commitment to quality legal service.
As the challenges faced by the transportation industry have evolved, so too has the industry’s need for diverse legal services. Thus, changes in transportation since the regulated 1970s have transformed Scopelitis, Garvin, Light, Hanson & Feary from a single-purpose “regulatory” firm into a full-service legal team experienced in not only regulatory compliance but also business structuring and transactions, litigation, insurance, labor and employment, highway accident defense, taxation, mergers and acquisitions, workers’ compensation, logistics, driver leasing, warehousing, private fleet operations, outsourcing, and customs. We also represent clients in a variety of other industries, including those that provide services or products in insurance, alternative workforce strategies, construction and real estate development, manufacturing, retail goods, and professional services.
Scopelitis attorneys recognize that clients not only require answers to pending legal questions, but also seek direction on ways to anticipate problems before they arise. To that end, our services often focus on preventive strategies, and our attorneys regularly serve as panelists and speakers at seminars and conferences throughout the country, sharing information on important topics of interest to those engaged in and affected by the business of transportation. Scopelitis attorneys are also actively involved in a wide variety of transportation-related associations, which enables us to offer clients innovative solutions that are based on common and practical business sense, not just an analysis of legal issues.
With our principal office in Indianapolis – widely known as the “Crossroads of America” – and other offices located coast to coast, we are easily accessible to clients nationwide. Through the efficient use of advanced technology, travel schedules tailored to the client’s individual needs, and a determined commitment to accessible, attentive, and responsive service, Scopelitis, Garvin, Light, Hanson & Feary offers service upon which all clients can rely well into the 21st century.
