AVIATION

AVIATION

Aviation captures everyone’s imagination, and we tend to associate it with many positive experiences. Professionally, few industries showcase the intersection of technology, regulation, and international cooperation as vividly as aviation. For a lawyer, it is fascinating to see how many intricate details must align for an aircraft to take off, and it is particularly rewarding to contribute our own expertise to this complex process.
