What are the most significant cases and transactions that your legal team has recently been involved in?
Our team has negotiated the largest airplane purchase agreement in our history, more than 100 wide and narrow body aircrafts from Boeing and Airbus earlier this year.
Which recent political, economic or regulatory changes have impacted your work the most in recent years?
As many countries have adopted independent, sometimes, personal data protection laws in recent years, in an industry like air transport, which is cross border by its nature, it has become increasingly difficult and costly to comply to such laws.
