Roanoke Trade Introduces its
Trade Risk Review™ Program
Roanoke Trade has teamed up with three logistics specialist law firms
to deliver significantly discounted access to forwarders who are seeking
a practical solution to address their legal concerns including: proper
documentation, regulatory compliance, and operational exposures.
This new program provides access to an attorney well-versed in the
business activities of freight forwarders, 3PLs, customs brokers, prop-
erty brokers, warehouse operators and others in the industry. Roanoke
has partnered with Countryman & McDaniel, Sandler Travis and
Rosenberg and Scopelitis Garvin Light Hanson & Feary to offer this
unique program.
The programs vary but may include the following services:
• Analysis and review of your business activities
• Document review including terms and conditions of service,
bills of lading and warehouse receipts
• Access to reference documents pertinent to your industry
• Preferred rates for future services
Rick Bridges, AFA Board Member and Vice President at Roanoke
Trade notes, “For several years we’ve had a desire to offer a cost-effec-
tive legal review program to our smaller and mid-sized clients and now
it’s a reality. Proper compliance with regulations and strong terms and
conditions are the foundation of protection to shareholders, so this
is a true benefit to forwarders and logistics providers. Each law firm
delivers slight variations on the legal review program and all have been
selected for their focus on our industry.”
