Nixon Peabody LLP, based out of New York, excels at handling contentious aviation matters for international aerospace corporations and aircraft manufacturers. The litigation-focused practice repeatedly assists with the entire lifecycle of an aircraft crash investigation, from the initial information gathering to advocacy in high-profile jury trials. Its representation of French corporation Daher Socata in a personal injury and wrongful death litigation following a fatal crash in Michigan and its work for Airbus following a helicopter crash in Albuquerque, evidence their experience in handling high-profile contentious matters. Long Island-based Joseph Ortego spearheads the practice, relying upon a wealth of experience arguing in federal courts, state judiciaries, and international arbitration tribunals. In Rochester, Tracey Scarpello attracts widespread praise for her expertise in handling complex commercial matters.
