Hailed as an ‘outstanding aviation practice’, Kennedys remains a market-leading outfit in this space with a practice that covers the full gamut of aviation matters, including finance and leasing as well as disputes and damage claims. The firm counts a host of high-profile domestic and international companies in addition to government institutions amongst its client roster and acts for airlines, cargo companies, lessors, and insurers alike. Dimitri de Bournonville, who is particularly experienced in regulatory matters as well as aviation finance, purchase and leasing, heads the Brussels-based team. On associate level, the ’bright and upcoming’ Dries Deschuttere is a key name to note alongside Guillaume Mockel, with the latter joining in January 2023 from AdaStone Law.
