Why use a lawyer?

Aviation law is a complex field that combines national and international regulations. Airlines often have strategies to limit or deny compensation owed to passengers. Calling on an experienced lawyer ensures that you:

  • An in-depth analysis of your situation to determine your rights.
  • Complete legal support for airlines.
  • Management of your file from A to Z, without stress or loss of time.
  • No advance payments: we work on a transparent remuneration basis.

Personalized, human service

Lambert Avocats is a firm dedicated to making justice accessible to all. With this in mind, we make it a point of honour to treat each case in a unique and personalised way, taking into account the specificities of each situation. Understanding our clients’ needs is the golden rule that guides our approach, in order to represent them in the most appropriate and effective way possible.

Expertise in aviation law

We use our expertise acquired over the years in the processing of compensation claims against airlines. With 5 years of experience in this field, Mtre Belhaddad and his team will guide you through the complexity of aviation legislation, in order to identify the compensation to which you are entitled and to advise you on how to obtain it:

  • Should you go to the airline? At the Transport Office? To the ordinary courts?
  • Are you eligible for late payment compensation? Cancellation? Denied boarding?
  • Can you get reimbursed for your expenses made at the airport? Before you leave? After you leave?
  • Does the reason for the disruption entitle the employee to compensation?

With us, you won’t have to ask yourself these questions. We will analyze your file and tell you your rights and how to claim them. Plus, we’ll do it for you.

Our firm is distinguished by the diversity of its lawyers’ areas of expertise , which allows us to offer a comprehensive and effective approach to each of our clients.

Transparent pricing with no surprises

We guarantee our clients full transparency regarding the financial commitment from the start, with no surprises or hidden costs. The processing of your file is done in several clear and simple steps, allowing you to follow its progress and to be informed at each stage of the process.

Complexity of procedures

Navigating this complex field alone, facing powerful carriers, can be daunting. The answers received are sometimes difficult to interpret and it is not always easy to know what you are really entitled to.

In addition, several laws can apply simultaneously to the same case, which makes the situation even more complex. As a result, airlines often rely on the complexity of procedures to deter passengers from claiming compensation.

This is why it is essential to be accompanied by an experienced law firm that is able to defend your interests competently.

Call on Lambert Avocats and benefit from the peace of mind of knowing that we take care of the entire procedure. We’re committed to making it as simple and understandable as possible, so you can approach each step with confidence.
