Taylor Nelson is a boutique transportation and logistics law firm with real industry experience, a national practice, and a local footprint in central and south Florida.

We are industry insiders and understand the law of transportation and logistics—and most importantly, we get the law of business. Taylor Nelson brings together the power of local legal practice, deep transportation industry understanding, and nimble lawyering. We are proud to represent the hard-working businesses that manufacture, arrange, transport, and insure the staples of this country. Our clients include motor carriers, brokers, agents, freight forwarders, shippers, owner-operators, and warehouses, as well as insurance and other logistics companies.

Taylor Nelson collectively holds decades of experience with high caliber attorneys hailing from inner-industry, big law, and trial practices. Our managing member, JW Taylor, is a nationally recognized leader in the transportation and logistics industry. Our partner team includes Bryan Nelson, guiding our corporate practice having served as in-house counsel at a major transportation broker, Sophia Bernard, heading the litigation, trial, and appellate practice, Elle Slattery, directing regulatory compliance services and Todd C. Rubenstein, providing our shipper, carrier, broker, third party logistics provider, warehousemen, and other clients with an array of legal services. Several of our attorneys bring prior in-house transportation experience. Our attorneys offer a deep bench of trial-tested skills. We are supported by a strong attorney, paralegal, and staff team.

Many of our attorneys hail from inner industry, having served as in-house counsel for many years. Our team includes former C-suite executives, general counsels, heads of contracting and procurement organizations, senior government and military attorneys, executive leaders, and successful business partners. We are supported by a strong attorney, paralegal, and staff team.

We are team players focused on corporate structuring, regulatory compliance, and litigation and claims management solely in the transportation and logistics space. We focus on detail. We listen. We understand our clients’ businesses. We evaluate liability exposures and develop strategies aimed to give our clients positive results. We are honest, hardworking, and will be available when you call.

Taylor Nelson actively seeks creative and conciliatory ways to settle legal disputes with a business mindset. We understand the legal and business needs of transportation, logistics, and procurement.

JW Taylor is on the Board of Directors for the Florida Trucking Association. Our firm has members supporting the American Trucking Associations, the Florida Trucking Association, the California Trucking Association, the Women In Trucking Association, the Transportation Lawyers Association, and the Conference of Freight Counsel.

Because we are a small, specialized transportation and logistics law firm, we function similar to in-house general counsel and often work closely with general counsel and executive teams.
