    Mobility/Logistics

    Introduction

    The mobility/logistics industry frequently integrates various IT technologies to enhance user convenience and introduces new concept services that transform traditional distribution structures. These innovative services often conflict with existing regulatory frameworks and give rise to various legal issues. Therefore, it is crucial in the legal advisory process to understand new service business models and create alternatives that harmonize with existing regulations. The mobility/logistics industry encompasses a wide range of sectors, from users directly utilizing transportation or logistics systems to consumers receiving goods distributed through various channels. Currently, many startups are entering the mobility/logistics industry with unique ideas and technologies, leading to conflicts with existing stakeholders. Moreover, investments in promising startups by large corporations and market expansion through proactive M&A activities are expected. In such circumstances, the expertise of M&A specialists based on industry knowledge becomes essential. DLG Law Firm, in line with its mission to support clients with expertise and innovation in frontier industries, provides comprehensive legal services spanning from licensing and legal advisory on relevant issues to various contracts, personal data protection, business responsibilities, fair trade matters, and even investments and M&A for mobility/logistics businesses.
