Houston Partner Joelle Nelson will join a panel to discuss the most critical legal threats to brokers at the 2026 Transportation Lawyers Association (TLA) Annual Conference and CTLA Midyear Meeting, hosted on Amelia Island, Florida on April 30 at 2:30 p.m. ET.
In this informative 60-minute, titled “Seven Deadly Sins (Against Broker)! And How to Manage and Prevent Them,” Ms. Nelson and her co-panelists Ryan Eckert (Arrive Logistics) and Eric Zalud (Benesch, Friedlander, Coplan & Aronoff) will examine the most pressing legal risks facing freight intermediaries, including broker transparency, fraud, double brokering, cargo loss, preemption challenges, and catastrophic liability exposure. Moderated by Ashley Winsky (Moran Reeves Conn), this session will provide actionable strategies to help practitioners navigate the evolving regulatory landscape and mitigate risk effectively.
Ms. Nelson serves as co-chair of the national General Liability Practice, the Mass Casualty Defense practice, and Transportation practice. She has successfully defended clients in complex matters involving catastrophic injury, trucking and bus accidents, freight broker liability, transportation network companies (TNCs), mass casualty events and toxic tort multidistrict litigation (MDL), excess casualty claims, and construction defect claims.
