At Gates and Partners, we have decades of experience in handling aviation disasters in all parts of the world. We work with airline clients on preparation and updating of disaster manuals, and participate in disaster exercises. For the benefit of our clients, we organise seminars and tuition on the legal issues which may arise and offer insight into our practical experiences of what has worked; and even more usefully, what has gone wrong in earlier events. Our latest innovation is a joint venture with Kenyon International Emergency Services which includes a new pre-disaster audit to evaluate airlines' disaster preparedness, as well as a unique emergency planning and response system.
We share the experience that we have gained in this area, and enhance it by speaking at, and participating in, conferences and seminars on the subject organised by IATA, ICAO, Southern Methodist University, McGill University, the Aviation Insurers Association, Asia Pacific Airlines Association, and other industry bodies and companies.
The global experiences of our team members enable us to assist our clients with the many difficult regional, cultural and religious issues that may arise in handling the aftermath of a disaster.
We provide:
- Support in handling legal, claims, public relations and family support issues following a disaster.
- Seminars on legal aspects of disaster handling.
- Review of disaster manuals to reflect latest legal developments and recommended practices.
- Supervision and coordination of international network of aviation correspondent lawyers.
- Experts to support airline's accident investigation team.
- Experience in handling, coordinating and supervising public enquiries and hearings.
- Support to airline's public relations department in legal/insurance elements of public statements.
- Auditing service to evaluate airlines' disaster preparedness (in conjunction with Kenyon International Emergency Services).
