Aviation specialists, asb law, are delighted to announce the appointment of Daniel James, formerly of Stevens & Bolton, as Partner and Head of Aviation.

Daniel advises clients on commercial transactions, leases and the financing of aircraft and their components, as well as on matters involving repossession, insurance claims and regulation. He has an excellent reputation in the field and his expertise, as well as his long-standing passion for aviation, means he is ‘recommended’ by both Chambers & Partners and Legal 500 legal directories.

Daniel will lead asb law’s established aviation team which is recognised as “a hidden treasure in the aviation market with a wide range of experience” and a “high-performing alternative to the best City aviation practices” in Chambers & Partners 2018. Based primarily out of offices near Gatwick Airport, the team provides support to businesses across the aviation industry, as well as aviation insurers, and has a reputation for its client-centred approach.

Speaking about his appointment, Daniel said: “The aviation team at asb law is attracting diverse, high quality instructions and I very much look forward to growing the practice. asb is one of a handful of firms offering something truly different in the way that it delivers legal services and this climate of innovation and new thinking makes it an exciting place to be.”

Alina Nosek, who stepped down as Head of Aviation in April 2018, remains an active part of the team and is extremely positive about the current and future position “This is an extremely interesting time for the aviation team. We are continuing to attract new clients and to grow the team and are delighted that Daniel has chosen to join us to help us navigate the next stage of the journey.”
