Aviation

Headed by experienced aviation lawyer Peter McCullough, FitzGerald Lawyers offers deep specialisation and support in these challenging times.  From pragmatic advice on managing risks/enforcing rights through setting up new ventures and doing business differently.  All this from an independent, cost-effective platform. 

Airlines are assessing their route networks, with services to cities such as Hong Kong and other parts of Asia under threat.  We provide on the ground assistance and advice on the implications of closing an airline outstation or the termination of agreements under Hong Kong law. Many aviation disputes are being referred to arbitration, an area in which FitzGerald Lawyers has particular expertise.  Among all the disruption, opportunity, with aviation start-ups active.  FitzGerald Lawyers offers a launchpad here, value-add and long term partnerships.

As an independent firm we act both for and against industry players and consumers, while maintaining client confidentiality and relationships. 

We cover aviation-related insurance, air cargo, property damage and negligent maintenance claims; cross border debt/asset recovery; air passenger claims for flight delay (including EU Reg 261/2004), flight cancellations, missed onward-connections and injury.  We draw on our corporate, employment and intellectual property teams to provide general commerial services.
