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.
