At Clyde & Co we combine the world’s top aviation team with an award-winning dispute resolution practice. Recognised as a leading player for complex, international disputes, we handle multi-jurisdictional cases from our 23 international offices.
We can respond to any litigious aviation problem. The disputes range widely, from issues arising out of aircraft leasing or financing to challenging EC legislation. Our experience includes:
- Liability and product liability claims
- Aviation insurance/reinsurance/political risk insurance
- Contamination claims
- Salvage
- Lease termination and aircraft repossession
- Enforcement of security documents
- Passenger/cargo claims
Whether in the UK or elsewhere, we resolve disputes by settlement, litigation, arbitration or alternative dispute resolution. We fight “hard but fairly” but our clients know that we will pursue a settlement where it is in their best interests. In litigation generally, we “dominate the Commercial Court”. And at any point in time we handle over 500 arbitrations in virtually every jurisdiction in the world.
Work in the aviation litigation and dispute resolution field can involve aspects of aviation law crossing into other areas of transportation. As a specialist transportation firm we are able to deploy the right person for the job or any particular aspect of the job.
Clients include international and regional airlines, aircraft lessors, export credit agencies, aviation insurers, airport operators, airports, flying clubs, aviation service organisations and satellite underwriters.
