Airlines
Airlines are currently dealing with a myriad of pressures. With travel restrictions constantly changing and reduced passenger numbers, airlines are also juggling their normal operations and day-to-day issues such as staffing, commercial relationships, brand recognition and sponsorships.
We can support your business needs by advising on corporate and commercial matters, resolving disputes, intellectual property matters, sponsorship agreements, employment and pension law. We know that each airline has its own unique business goals and pressures so we will tailor our advice to ensure your business continues to thrive and grow.

Airports
Airport operators and owners are facing an unprecedented business environment due to the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Reduced passenger numbers are causing real concern for airports together with the related staffing and employment issues. Airports may also face complex and frequent renegotiation or disputes through their commercial relationships with airlines and service providers.
We will work closely with you and your suppliers to help address a broad range of employment law and HR issues, dispute negotiations, airport infrastructure contracts, procurement and tendering processes and any contractual disputes that may arise. If your ambitions are to grow and develop, we can work alongside you to help expand and modernise the services you offer.
