AVIATION
LAW

Overview

Aviation law is the branch of law that concerns flight, air travel, and associated legal and business concerns. Due to the nature of air travel aviation law is considered a matter of international law.

The aviation industry is constantly changing and novel issues regularly arise. The international nature of aviation means that when disputes arise, they tend to be cross-border. Varying business cultures, legal frameworks and business practices can make the resolution of disputes time-consuming and potentially very costly.
