Aviation

We represent airlines, aircraft owners and operators, fixed-base operators, insurers, and aviation professionals in complex, high-stakes aviation matters arising both on the ground and in the air.

Our aviation practice is anchored in liability defense and strategic risk management across the full spectrum of aviation operations. We defend claims involving personal injuries, wrongful death, and property damage stemming from aircraft operations, airport incidents, maintenance and repair activities, ground-handling operations, and aviation-related commercial disputes. Our attorneys routinely advise clients on accident response, preservation of evidence, and coordination with insurers and investigators following incidents, ensuring matters are positioned effectively from the outset.

We approach aviation matters with the same disciplined, trial-ready strategy that defines our broader litigation practice. In many cases, we manage matters from pre-incident advisement and claims handling through litigation, trial, and resolution. We are also frequently retained after an incident or lawsuit has already arisen to assume defense responsibilities, evaluate exposure, develop liability strategies, and coordinate defense efforts across multiple parties and jurisdictions. Our experience as trial lawyers allows us to assess technical aviation issues through a practical litigation lens, present complex facts clearly, and advocate persuasively before courts, regulators, and opposing counsel.

Our firm is committed to delivering pragmatic, efficient, and informed aviation defense solutions that protect our clients’ operational, financial, and reputational interests while navigating the unique regulatory and technical demands of the aviation industry.
