Aviation law is the branch of law that concerns flight, air travel, and associated legal and business concerns. Some of its area of concern overlaps that of admiralty law and, in many cases, aviation law is considered a matter of international law due to the nature of air travel.
Where we act
Our international and cross-border members handle treaty law, trade regulation, inbound investment protection, transport and movement-of-persons matters across multiple jurisdictions. They appear in domestic courts, international arbitration forums and before regional bodies.
How we work
Briefs may be sent directly to a named member or routed through our clerk, who will recommend the most appropriate counsel by seniority and area of focus. Opinions, drafting, mediation, hearings and appeals are all undertaken on the standard JSA tariff with clear scoping at the outset.
Who briefs us
Our Aviation Law members act on instructions from attorneys representing organs of state, listed and unlisted companies, NGOs, professional bodies and individuals across South Africa.
