Feedback on rankings:
We appreciate Chambers and Partners' recognition of a "Spotlight Table" ranking in Aviation Liability. Our work justifies a Band 1 ranking given Clyde & Co Australia’s aviation team has been the #1 team to defend each of these airlines : Germanwings, MH370 and MH17 as well as their insurers for three of the largest and most newsworthy airline disasters in the last 5 years. Publishable matter 1 is the second time in history an aircraft has been arrested on the tarmac at an Australian airport.
