Following its merger with insurance powerhouse DR&A Advogados in May 2023, Costa, Albino & Rocha Sociedade de Advogados (CAR) is well placed to advise on the full array of liability claims involving the aviation sector. Typical mandates range from assisting lead insurers, reinsurers, airlines, airport companies and private aircraft operators in cases arising from accidents, cargo disputes and passenger lawsuits. Its non-contentious work is also noteworthy; the firm regularly provides advice on regulatory and financing issues, and is also a go-to choice for cross-border matters in light of its cooperation agreement with international firm HFW. The group is led by Julio Costa, and also includes Fernando Albino and senior associate Eduardo Penna.
