The aviation industry has changed dramatically in the last decade. Privatisation of airports, airline collapses, ever-growing popularity of air transport and changing regulations make the sector one of the fastest moving in Australia. In addition, the issue of workplace relations always remains high on the agenda.

We have extensive experience working with major airlines both in Australia and internationally, and major Australian airport operators. Our lawyers have the expertise to provide strategic legal advice to those in the aviation industry, on any facet of their operations.

We have been involved in some of Australia's most significant aviation projects, including airline safety investigations, advice on air surveillance projects, airport property developments, aviation licensing, codesharing agreements, cross-border tax issues, competition law issues and purchasing and leasing of aircraft fleets.

We also have a significant aircraft financing practice, acting for both financiers and operators. Our lawyers are experienced in all aspects of aircraft finance, from operating leases to mortgage finance.
