Established in the early 1980s, our aviation practice is one of the most experienced in the marketplace. Our Aviation Group has built its international reputation on an outstanding record of technical excellence and a commercial approach.
Our expertise covers financing, leasing, capital markets, regulatory matters, repossessions, bankruptcy, operational issues and dispute resolution. We assemble, structure and manage complex cross-border, multi-jurisdictional and domestic financing and tax-based shares.
Our clients include manufacturers, airlines, leasing companies, financial institutions and regulatory authorities.
An increasingly important aspect of our aviation practice is securitisation and access to international capital markets and we have considerable expertise advising on complex deals in these areas.
As a member of the legal advisory panel to the Aviation Working Group to the Unidroit Convention on International Interest and Mobile Equipment we are ideally placed to advise on the role of and the implementation of the Convention.
We have advised on national and international aviation issues including advice under the Groundhandling Directive, the Slots Regulation and the application of EU and national competition law to the aviation sector.
Our Group has also advised clients in several European countries on a wide array of legal issues relating to the provision of airport and port facilities. We have also worked with Governments of Accession and Applicant countries in regard to all aspects of EU transport law.
