We advise on both contentious and non-contentious matters, including aircraft transactions, leasing, registration, financing and insurance.

With lawyers qualified in both German and English law, we advise clients in the aviation sector on both contentious and non-contentious matters. We advise on the sale and purchase of aircraft, registration issues, leasing contracts, management agreements, and insurance. Our services also cover the financing of aircraft and the creation of aircraft mortgages and other security interests.

In addition, we advise airlines on regulatory compliance and risk management, including EU and international aviation regulations, operating licences, traffic rights, consumer protection (including passenger rights), and safety and liability frameworks. We also assist with crisis-related advice, such as operational disruptions, grounding scenarios and dispute management with regulators, counterparties or customers.

Our contentious practice covers the representation of airlines in disputes relating to leasing, financing, insurance, maintenance, and commercial contracts, as well as passenger claims and regulatory proceedings. We combine deep sector knowledge with a pragmatic understanding of airline operations, enabling us to deliver commercially focused and solution-oriented advice.
