Venue: The Clayton Hotel, Ballsbridge, DublinAirline Economics and The Hague CAA are proud to announce the launch of a new flagship summit exclusively for the global aviation legal community, bringing together in-house and private practice attorneys from across the vast array of commercial and private aviation in one focused, high-impact forum. The summit is built around the issues that drive decision-making in aviation legal departments: complex transactions, cross-border regulatory and compliance risk, legal management of aviation assets and businesses, operational contracting, and the technologies reshaping the industry.
Content spans the full arc of sophisticated aviation legal work, including legal dimensions of emerging areas such as advanced air mobility. Delivered through a tightly curated, full-day programme, the symposium replaces passive panels with interactive formats designed for real engagement - short-form talks, practical workshops and peer roundtables - ensuring delegates leave with insights they can apply immediately. Multi-jurisdictional CLE and CPD accreditation is planned to be embedded into the programme from the outset, making attendance both professionally essential and commercially efficient.
Beyond the content, the symposium offers unmatched access to the people who matter most in aviation legal practice. Delegates will connect directly with in-house peers from around the world and with the leading law firms and service providers that support the industry.
The Airline Economics & Hague CAA Global Aviation Legal Summit is the new flagship annual platform where the global aviation legal market comes together.
Traditional aviation legal conferences divide the market and profession by sector or discipline. Ours is cross-industry, multi-disciplinary, and reflects how the work actually gets done!
Who will be in the room
- Leading law firms across aviation finance, disputes, regulatory and insurance
- General Counsel and senior in-house lawyers from airlines, lessors, cargo, bizav and emerging platforms
- Financiers, insurers, expert witnesses and legal service providers
- Legal technology and AI providers reshaping how legal services are delivered
Why Attend / Sponsor
- Relevance over volume – a curated, senior legal audience (not a broad industry crowd)
- Positioning – align your firm with how aviation legal risk is actually understood and managed
- Access – direct engagement with in-house legal teams across the full asset lifecycle
- Influence – shape the agenda, the conversations, and benefit from high-impact coverage across Airline Economics platforms
What to Expect
- High-level panels focused on real-world legal execution under pressure
- Cross-sector perspectives on the same asset problem
- Curated networking and targeted interaction delivering useful conversations
- Awards recognising leading firms, individuals and in-house teams
The Questions Driving the Summit
- Is the leasing and finance edifice as solid as the market assumes, or did the last five years expose structural fault lines the documentation never anticipated?
- How Aviation businesses resolve conflict in practice?
- What does the in-house role become when sanctions, ESG and geopolitics turn legal departments into risk-command centres rather than deal-papering functions?
- Is a genuinely new asset class financeable under the existing legal architecture, or do we need new law?
- What actually separates the counsel who improve outcomes from the ones who simply generate cost?
