Crowell & Moring proudly attended the IATA World Legal Symposium in Shanghai, China, themed “Beyond the Chicago Convention: The New and the Unresolved.” The Chicago Convention, held in 1944, laid the foundational framework for international aviation law, marking an historic milestone in global aviation cooperation. Our team engaged with industry leaders and clients in a series of productive business meetings. A highlight of the event was the closing panel, the “Grand Debate,” on a controversial aviation law topic focused on the Chicago Convention, featuring spirited arguments under strict procedural rules. Our very own Amna Arshad, a partner at the firm, represented the affirmative team with compelling arguments and insightful perspectives. Partners Robert Hager and Michael Guiffre were also in attendance reflecting the deep and global bench of aviation experience the firm offers. Crowell & Moring’s participation not only underscored our commitment to thought leadership in the aviation legal industry but also strengthened our relationships with key clients and stakeholders.
