Aviation Litigation

Wednesday, June 22 to Thursday, June 23, 2011

The Historic Omni Parker House Hotel, Boston, MA

The premier industry event dedicated to managing and litigating complex aviation-related claims returns for its 3rd year, led by an unparalleled faculty of key regulators, leading in-house counsel & claims offi cers from manufacturers, carriers, and insurers, top law fi rms, and renowned federal judges.

Ever complex theories of liability, jurisdictional battles, diffi culties in overcoming jury bias and sympathies, managing regulatory investigations and enforcement, exorbitant litigation and settlement costs, a sophisticated and motivated plaintiff’s bar –these are just some of the issues and concerns facing the aviation industry today. Evolving circumstances and new case decisions continue to make successfully managing and defending against such claims a diffi cult, if near impossible, task. It is thus imperative that companies and their counsel be armed with the latest strategies and tactics for defending and managing these claims, whether carriers, manufacturers, or insurers.

Recent developments in aviation law have dramatically impacted the industry, including the possibility of criminal liability relating to aviation crashes, increased passenger and cargo screening in the wake of ever growing security threats, new and complicated FNC developments, and the delicate balance between safety and intrusion on passenger rights. Such activity has raised diffi cult to answer questions. What litigation risks exist in the wake of such concerns? What strategies can counsel utilize to mitigate the threat of these bet-the-company claims? How do you determine liability apportionment when dealing with multiple parties? What insurance issues must be addressed during the litigation process?

To complicate matters further while crashes and other aviation related claims will lead to private litigation, companies and their counsel must also be adept at working with key regulatory agencies. How do you manage against enforcement activity and litigation risks stemming from Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) scrutiny and regulations? What evidentiary concerns and practices should be taken into account when working with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) during an accident investigation? Missteps when working with this entities can and will prove costly.

Now in its third year, ACI’s renowned conference on Defending and Managing AVIATION LITIGATION offers the unique opportunity for law fi rm litigators and aviation professionals to network, and gain strategic insights and novel tactics from our distinguished faculty featuring some of the best in the industry, including 5 Federal Judges, FAA and NTSB offi cials, top outside litigators, and leading counsel and claims offi cers from Textron, Allianz Global, Cessna, USAIG, Avco Corp., Bell Helicopter, American Airlines, Chartis Aerospace, US Airways, XL Insurance, British Airways, Trans States Holdings, GE Aviation, Global Aerospace, Delta and many others.
