Partner Marc Blubaugh Quoted in Freight Waves on Potential Supreme Court Review of TQL Broker Liability Case

April 22, 2025

Marc Blubaugh, Co-Chair of Benesch’s Transportation & Logistics Practice Group, was quoted in a recent Freight Waves article discussing the ongoing legal debate surrounding broker liability, particularly in the case of Cox v.
