Condon & Forsyth LLP

Condon & Forsyth LLP has firmly established itself as the law firm of choice for a plethora of the world’s leading carriers and manufacturers across a range of major class actions and MDLs, many of which involve product liability issues. The group combines litigation and regulatory prowess, and regularly handles issues regarding high-profile airline disasters. Although the firm’s New York and Los Angeles offices continue to generate much of the workflow, its newer Miami office has been instrumental in representing Latin American carriers in major matters. Office head John Maggio has expertise across civil, commercial, and product liability litigation, and also litigates claims governed by various international treaties and aviation statutes. Alongside Los Angeles-based Scott Cunningham, Maggio continues to defend Aeromexico in multiple lawsuits throughout the US following the crash of Flight AM2431 in 2018. Bartholomew Banino in New York has vast expertise in the aviation sector, including in multilateral aviation treaties, and advises carriers on liability issues arising from major crashes and crisis management support. Also based out of New York, Christopher Christensen co-heads the aviation and aerospace team alongside Maggio and Banino, and regularly assists carriers in the aftermath of major accidents, where he has developed extensive knowledge of National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigation processes. ‘Extremely intelligent’ New York-based litigator Jonathan DeMay provides ’creative, effective and smart solutions’ to clients in federal and state courts throughout the country, at both the trial and appellate levels. New York-based David Harrington provides ‘extra technical superiority’.
