We have advised on several high profile aviation losses occurring in the UK and around the world, including, representing a broad spectrum of aircraft operators and manufacturers, engine and components manufacturers, as well as airport authorities and ground handlers.
For liability matters, our expertise covers hull, passenger, cargo and third party claims, general liability claims. This includes advising local counsel on the various methods of obtaining evidence abroad.
Our team has handled complex coverage disputes under aviation policies (hull all risks and war) and we regularly advise on aviation policy wordings. We have also dealt with claims arising out of activities in space. We are also familiar with the regulations and insurance arrangements associated with satellite activity.
