We are pleased to announce the appointment of Chloe Challinor as a partner in the firm’s Dispute Resolution team and within our fast-growing Aviation practice.

Chloe joins Burges Salmon from Stephenson Harwood, where she was Of Counsel, and is based in the firm’s London office.

Recognised as a leading aviation lawyer in the UK, Chloe acts for airlines, travel businesses, aircraft lessors, OEMs, MROs, suppliers and insurers. She has wide-ranging experience of representing aviation companies in relation to domestic and cross-border commercial disputes, regulatory enforcement actions, and judicial reviews and inquiries before the UK courts.

She also focuses on aviation regulatory matters advising on the full ambit of UK, European and international regulations including those relating to airline licensing, airport slots, aircraft accident investigation, safety and security, maintenance and passenger rights, along with consumer and travel law. As a member of the Royal Aeronautical Society’s Air Law Group and the International Aerospace Womens Association (IAWA), Chloe champions and advocates for greater diversity at all levels within the aviation and aerospace sectors.

“Chloe is distinguished in the aviation legal landscape and we’re thrilled to have someone of her calibre joining our Dispute Resolution team and cross-disciplinary Aviation practice. Chloe’s extensive experience will be invaluable to our clients as we help them navigate the many and highly complex issues facing the sector today, including the ever-evolving regulatory framework.”

Andrew Burnette, partner and head of Dispute Resolution

“Burges Salmon has a stellar reputation in transport, and it’s great to see the work the firm is already undertaking in the aviation and space industries. I look forward to collaborating with the team to support our clients in these dynamic and cutting-edge sectors whilst also leveraging the firm’s networks and resources to continue promoting diversity and inclusion for a more representative and accessible aviation industry.”
