Patrick Slomski
Partner
Patrick is a partner in the firm’s aviation and aerospace team and is based in the London office. His practice is both contentious and non-contentious, including insurance coverage disputes, complex claims, and leasing and maintenance disputes.
He has a very high profile in the aviation and aerospace sectors internationally, with experience in aviation catastrophes, insurance coverage (aircraft and space systems), products, major commercial disputes, reinsurance disputes, subrogation. One insurer client has noted that ‘no-one else in the market has the same technical knowledge as Patrick’.
