Chandigarh, August 20
In a development that is bound to raise interest among players in the aviation sector across the region, a Chandigarh-based law firm, today entered into an affiliation with Donald H. Bunker and Associates, one of the few firms specialising exclusively in aviation law in the world and the only aviation law firm in the Arabian Gulf.
Ian P Veall, representing Donald H Bunker and Associates, Dubai, was in Chandigarh today to formally establish the affiliation between the two law firms.
Highlighting the services that would be rendered through this affiliation, Veall, who is a British lawyer practising as an international lawyer in Dubai, said: “There are several issues that airlines encounter like those concerning insurance, finances and other issues pertaining to services and its employees where the companies require assistance and advice apart from its in house legal system. We are primarily into providing legal support in areas that are non-contentious.”
Representatives of the two law firms added that the aviation market was forecasted to grow at exponential rates over the next two decades. The law firms are well placed to meet and exceed the requirements of aviation operators (commercial, corporate and private), governmental authorities and related organisations in India and abroad. As part of the affiliation, the firms also intend to initiate a series of lectures open to representatives from within the Indian aviation industry covering a range of topics, including aviation law, insurance and finance under the guidance of Dr Donald H Bunker, currently an adjunct professor of law at McGill University’s Institute of Air and Space Law in Montreal.
The signing of the affiliation agreement, which took place at Chandigarh, was presided over by Scott Slessor, Consul General of Canada and Justice SS Sodhi.
