In the aviation sector, our market-leading team excels in representing a diverse range of clients, including passengers, insurers, owners, and airlines, in various facets of aviation law. With a notable track record in handling major aviation accidents and regulatory matters, we have earned recognition as a Global Emergency Contact for one of East Asia's largest carriers and its subsidiaries. Our involvement in investigations into aviation accidents underscores our expertise and commitment to ensuring compliance and safety within the aviation industry.

In the realm of shipping, our practice has experienced significant growth driven by the cabotage policies in Indonesia and the government's strategic initiatives to enhance the country's maritime infrastructure. With the implementation of the "Indonesian Maritime Expressway", aimed at bolstering port services and facilitating smoother logistics and passenger flows between Indonesia's islands, we anticipate a surge in mandates from the shipping and related sectors. This expansion is further fuelled by increased M&A activity within the shipping industry, where we leverage our integrated services across M&A, Banking & Finance, Dispute Resolution, Tax, and Competition practices to navigate complex deals and issues.

Our presence in Jakarta and Surabaya, Indonesia's key maritime hubs, positions us strategically to serve clients in the region effectively. As a full-service firm, we offer a comprehensive suite of services covering ship financing, marine casualties, charter parties, cargo claims, and marine insurance. Leveraging the strength of the Rajah & Tann Asia network, we provide seamless legal support across ten Asian jurisdictions, ensuring our clients receive expert counsel tailored to their specific needs.

From navigating regulatory changes in shipping to providing strategic counsel in aviation matters, AHP's Shipping & Aviation practice group remains dedicated to delivering exceptional legal services that drive the success of our clients in these dynamic sectors.
