Air & Space Law Expertise on Display at Leiden University
Alex Acain, our co-founding partner, recently participated in the exclusive Air & Space Law Masterclass Workshop at Leiden University’s renowned Institute of Air and Space Law in the Netherlands. This invitation-only gathering brought together aviation experts and professionals from around the world to discuss critical legal and regulatory issues impacting air transport and the space industry.
The workshop covered a wide range of topics, including:
- Aircraft Leasing and Financing
- Practical Approaches to Aviation Claims
- EU Air Transport Liberalization
- The Montreal Convention and Handling Warsaw Claims (particularly relevant with the Philippines’ recent accession)
- Aviation Insurance & Reinsurance Transitions
- Legal Considerations for Terrorism and Tugs
- The Cape Town Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment
- Updates and Regulations in Air and Space Law
The Montreal Convention in Focus
“The workshop concluded with particularly lively discussions on passenger rights under the Montreal Convention, a topic of growing importance following the Philippines’ accession in 2015” Alex posted on his tweeter while in the Netherlands. Alex is eager to see how Philippine courts will apply the Montreal Convention in upcoming cases, potentially leading to more favorable outcomes for air passengers.
