Practice Areas

Diane is a seasoned attorney with over 30 years of multijurisdictional experience representing clients — particularly in the aerospace, aviation and insurance industries — in high-stakes commercial litigation throughout the U.S. and in international courts and arbitral forums.

In addition, she provides strategic legal counselling to a wide variety of airlines, airports and manufacturers.

Diane has been involved in many of the aviation industry’s most significant cases, including representing EL AL Israel Airlines, Ltd. in the landmark U.S. Supreme Court multilateral treaty case (EL AL Israel Airlines v. Tseng) that established the Montreal Convention as the exclusive cause of action in air disasters, barring recovery under alternative theories of liability. Diane tried the case in the Southern District of New York and argued the appeal before the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. She also represented airline defendants in Chan v. Korean Air and Olympic Airways v. Hussain before the U.S. Supreme Court.*
