We regularly advise airports, airlines, lenders, suppliers, and service providers on procurement, construction, operation, and maintenance of major airport projects. Our team is  well regarded for handling cross-border and high-value commercial litigation and arbitration, acting for key actors in the aviation industry. . 

Our aviation practice spans various aspects of the industry including regulation and compliance both at national and international levels, air traffic rights, transactional advice and support including drafting and review of contracts, litigation, among others. Members of our team have been involved in high profile litigation in the aviation sector in the country. We have also previously conducted an extensive legal audit of the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority. We are in the panel of advocates for Kenya Civil Aviation Authority and Kenya Airports Authority.
