Contact UsOverview
We are particularly focused upon providing aviation advice to the insurance industry, acting for insurers, reinsurers and assisting brokers where needed – including claims defence and coverage work and a successful subrogation offering. We have a rich seam of experience advising on aviation and aerospace claims, conducting litigation and guiding operators and insurers across a wide range of jurisdictions globally.
Through a network of our own offices and international alliances, we are well-placed to serve you wherever you are operating. We have wide experience of the multi-jurisdictional aspects which increasingly arise. We understand the need for focused local knowledge and we adopt a constructive hands-on approach from the outset.
Our focus is on eight core areas – airline, general aviation, airport/MRO, product liability, coverage, subrogation, drones and space. We have specialists who can assist with everything from volume personal injury claims and complex fatal accidents to property damage losses and third party recovery actions, all on an emergency basis when needed.
