What the Team is Known For
XXIV Old Buildings deploys a wealth of expertise across a broad range of aviation matters. The set's strong silks and juniors are recognised for their handling of complex product liability, negligence and insurance claims in the industry. Members here regularly handle high-value litigation both for and against major operators, airports and owners in matters pertaining to aircraft leases, repossessions and contractual disputes. Barristers at the set are particularly adept at advising airlines on compensation claims and other insolvency issues. Recent work highlights for the set include acting for airlines and claimants in disputes regarding maintenance reserves, and handling cases involving Regulation 261 and leasing claims. Commentators say the barristers are "savvy with respect to the aviation sector and its intricacies. They are hard-working and creative in delivering results." Paul Horsfield is the Head of Clerking.
