Aviation
Our aviation practice is built on deep industry knowledge gained from advising on a wide range of matters across the aviation ecosystem, including airlines, aircraft lessors, financial institutions, insurers, brokers, travel operators, service providers, and trade associations. This enables us to support clients in navigating jurisdiction-specific challenges and leveraging opportunities wherever their operations or transactions may require.
Our advisory capabilities reflect the realities of this highly regulated and specialised industry as we provide end-to-end support across contentious and non-contentious matters, including emergency response, liability management, financing structures, regulatory compliance, employment issues, and operational risk.
We also advise on broader commercial and operational matters that affect industry participants, such as contractual arrangements, import and export requirements, environmental compliance, restructuring and insolvency, insurance, intellectual property, public policy, security, and taxation.
Our dispute resolution offering covers the full spectrum of aviation-related litigation and arbitration. We act for owners, lessors, lenders, and guarantors in the planning and enforcement of remedies arising from delinquent or defaulted financing. This includes pursuing claims for damages, specific performance, repossession, and other remedies before competent courts and arbitral tribunals.
Our integrated, multi-disciplinary approach ensures that clients receive practical, efficient, and business-focused solutions across the entire lifecycle of their aviation operations and transactions.
