We represent a balanced mix of top-tier clients – including banks, financial institutions, lessors and airlines. Some of our key clients are also the most active in the region.
Our practice has significantly broadened out from a low-cost carrier focused practice, having developed ingrained relationships with banks, lessors and financial institutions. Over 80% of our matters and revenue are derived from non-airline clients.
