Aviation Crime & Crisis. Investigations. Criminal Law.

Crisis solutions, diplomacy and internal investigations before criminal proceedings escalate.

I support airlines, aircraft manufacturers, airports and selected clients in general criminal law, above all with an independent outside perspective when – in a figurative sense – things have “really blown up” and the situation needs to be cleaned up quickly: in crises, when suspicions arise and in sensitive constellations involving law-enforcement authorities, regulators, embassies and other state bodies. The focus is on out-of-court troubleshooting, strategic conflict resolution and internal investigations – underpinned by operational experience in this segment with Pan Am.

Christmas Approach to New York

A short scene from the Pan Am years: a Christmas approach into JFK, radio traffic with New York TRACON and a “Welcome back home in New York, boys, and a merry Christmas” that still resonates today. A memory of coming home, safety and responsibility – and of how crisis experience from aviation continues to shape my work in Aviation Crime & Crisis.
