Aviation, Shipping & Logistics
Aviation, shipping and logistics operate through dense regulatory frameworks, capital-intensive assets and time-sensitive commercial relationships. Clavius advises airlines, airport and port stakeholders, shipowners, charterers, lessors, logistics providers and other market participants on transactions, regulation, commercial arrangements and disputes across the transport and supply-chain ecosystem.
Our experience spans airport concessions and tariff regulation, aircraft leasing and repossession, charterparties, cargo and marine claims, logistics and warehousing arrangements, customs and carriage issues, and disputes under specialist maritime and arbitral frameworks. We act on mandates that require coordination across commercial, regulatory, insurance, enforcement and cross-border dimensions.
