As the technology revolution gathers pace and the competition for market share heats up, airlines are increasingly using the Internet to deliver value propositions to customers.
Our in depth knowledge of the aviation industry combined with our expertise in e-commerce, information technology and intellectual property ensures we are expertly placed to provide a comprehensive range of legal advice relevant to the aviation sector.
In addition to technology based advice, we draw on other core areas of expertise within the firm and regularly provide advice on International and European regulations, competition law, environment, tax, commercial contracts and corporate law.
