Aviation

We advise airlines, business jet operators, aircraft owners, airports, lessors, financiers, insurers, manufacturers and other aviation businesses on the legal and strategic issues that arise throughout their operations. Our work covers commercial and regulatory matters, aircraft transactions, leasing and financing, liability, passenger and cargo claims, investigations and complex disputes.

Aviation is a highly regulated and internationally connected industry. We combine specialist legal expertise with a detailed understanding of its operational and commercial realities, allowing us to assess issues quickly, navigate cross-border and regulatory complexity and provide advice that is both legally robust and commercially workable.

Our transactional work includes aircraft and engine acquisitions, ownership and operating structures, leasing, financing, charter and management arrangements and related commercial agreements. We also advise on regulatory approvals, governmental and administrative proceedings, compliance matters and issues arising under international aviation law.

When disputes arise, we represent clients in litigation and alternative dispute resolution, including contractual disputes, passenger and cargo claims, liability matters, accident-related proceedings and conflicts with manufacturers, service providers and other industry stakeholders.

Whatever the matter, our approach is direct, pragmatic and personal. We understand the pressures under which aviation businesses operate and focus on solutions that allow our clients to make informed decisions and move forward with confidence.

Trans­portation

GOODVICE advises transport, logistics and infrastructure companies on domestic and international trade, commercial contracts and cross-border business relationships. Our work covers the legal framework surrounding the movement of goods, the allocation of contractual risk and the relationships between carriers, freight forwarders, logistics providers, infrastructure operators and other market participants.

We assist clients with drafting and negotiating transport, forwarding, logistics and supply-chain agreements, as well as with liability issues, regulatory requirements and the legal implications of disrupted or evolving supply chains. We also advise on questions arising from international trade, cross-border transactions and the interaction of different contractual and regulatory regimes.

Transportation matters are often operationally complex and commercially time-sensitive. We therefore focus on identifying the legal issues that genuinely matter, structuring workable contractual solutions and helping clients manage risk without losing sight of the underlying business.

Where commercial relationships break down, we represent clients in negotiations, litigation and alternative dispute resolution, including contractual, liability and payment disputes. Our work combines legal precision with a practical understanding of the pressures under which transport and logistics businesses operate, particularly where several jurisdictions, contractual layers or commercial interests intersect.

Litigation

We represent clients in complex commercial disputes, in court and at the negotiating table. Our work covers contractual claims, corporate and shareholder disputes, liability matters, payment and enforcement proceedings, as well as conflicts arising from long-term commercial relationships.

For our clients, we assess not only the legal merits of a case, but also the strategic options available, the potential benefits and risks involved, and the commercial consequences of each course of action. This often means distinguishing between a short-term win and the outcome that best serves the client’s broader business interests.

Our approach is shaped by careful preparation, clear strategy and strong advocacy. From the first assessment of a dispute through negotiations, interim measures, trial and enforcement, we focus on controlling risk, preserving leverage and keeping the overall objective in view.

We act across a broad range of industries and are particularly experienced in matters involving substantial financial exposure, complex factual backgrounds or sensitive commercial relationships. Whether a dispute is resolved in court or through negotiation, our focus is on achieving an outcome that works legally, commercially and strategically.
