About

Provided by Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP

Hinshaw's aviation and aerospace team advises domestic and international airlines, airports, manufacturers, helicopter companies, and insurers in high-profile and contentious disputes. We provide counsel and strong defense for major losses, serious incidents, wrongful death disputes, putative class actions, and general commercial disputes.

With decades of proven experience in the aviation and aerospace sector, we also understand the technical side of matters, as our legal team—which includes pilots, flight instructors, and other aviators—is active and engaged in the industry. In addition, our team regularly handles non-contentious work, including regulatory, corporate, and finance matters.

Armed with a deep understanding of the opportunities and challenges of this highly regulated sector, we provide effective advice and counsel to our clients and their insurers.
