DLA Piper

DLA Piper fields a strong transport team, advising on matters across rail, light rail, bus, highways, aviation, and wider mobility. The team is particularly well regarded for complex regulated transport procurements and major public sector mandates, with notable strength in bus franchising, rolling stock projects, and strategic infrastructure instructions. Robert Smith and Petra Billing jointly lead the practice, especially active on major transport procurements across rail, bus, and emerging mobility models and bring significant contentious property and infrastructure expertise. Ntsakisi Baloyi Rigby is also a prominent member of the team, with a growing profile across bus reform, rolling stock, and light rail mandates.
