Richard Gluck has over thirty years of experience in Washington, D.C. practicing transportation law, and appears regularly before Federal government departments and agencies such as the Federal Maritime Commission, the Departments of Transportation, Defense and Homeland Security. He represents third party logistics companies, freight brokers, domestic and international shipping lines, non-vessel-operating common carriers, freight forwarders, shippers, shippers’ associations, port authorities, terminal operators, insurance companies and trade associations. He counsels clients on complex antitrust compliance issues and in defending against government investigations and private civil damages actions.

Mr. Gluck is outside general counsel to the Transportation Intermediaries Association (TIA), the largest U.S. trade association for third party logistics companies in the United States. TIA is the U.S. member of FIATA, the International Federation of Freight Forwarders Associations. He serves as the chairman of FIATA’s Advisory Body on Legal Matters and as the U.S. delegate to its Working Group on Sea Transport. He was the representative of FIATA and TIA to the United Nations Conference on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) in its deliberations on the proposed new ocean cargo liability convention known as the “Rotterdam Rules.” Mr. Gluck is the U.S. editor of Forwarderlaw.com, a legal web site for the forwarding industry, and has lectured and written frequently on legal issues affecting third party logistics providers, including freight forwarders, transportation brokers and non-vessel-operating common carriers (NVOCCs).

Mr. Gluck also counsels clients on all aspects of contracting with federal government agencies. He advises on preparation of proposals, contract negotiations, compliance with social and economic program requirements, bid protests, audits, claims litigation and investigations. He has negotiated joint ventures, teaming agreements and subcontracts at both the prime and subcontractor levels, and handles the due diligence process required when one government contractor acquires another.
