Aerospace


The firm has one of the largest aerospace teams in Europe. In conjunction with our affiliated undertakings, we field specialist teams based in Singapore, Hong Kong and Shanghai to serve the Asia Pacific region. We have opened an office in São Paulo to be closer to clients in the Latin America region. We also enjoy a co-venture with Chilean firm Estudio Carvallo for the handling of aviation claims.

We enjoy links to correspondent aerospace lawyers throughout the world.

The global aerospace team is consistently cited as a market leader with over 30 years of experience.

We provide a wide range of legal services to an international client base and have over 30 years' experience representing and advising all major sectors of the aerospace industry, including:

  • airlines
  • aircraft, satellite, engine and component manufacturers
  • airports and ground handlers
  • air traffic control and regulatory agencies
  • general aerospace companies
  • international trade associations
  • maintenance and repair organisations 
  • tour operators
  • aerospace insurers
Much of our work involves resolving disputes for these organisations, very often at the instigation of insurers. As well as advising on all forms of aerospace-related disputes, we also have particular expertise and experience in regulatory, anti-trust and commercial issues, including:
  • licensing and operational approvals
  • safety regulation
  • market access
  • passenger rights and travel law
  • competition including mergers and alliances
  • environment, emissions trading and climate change
  • drafting and advising on commercial agreements and conditions of carriage
  • aircraft acquisitions and leasing

In addition to being one of the UK's leading dispute resolution practices, we also have a deep and detailed knowledge and understanding of the aerospace industry. This derives not only from client work, but also from our close association with international aerospace organisations.  We support many industry events and regularly serve as event speakers.
