Airports

Carter Newell is a leading dynamic Queensland-based firm providing specialist legal advice to Australian and international corporate clients.

Led by Senior Partner Paul Hopkins and Partner Glenn Biggs, our Aviation team acts for a number of Australia’s airports. We have considerable experience working not only with airports on complex property, construction, corporate governance, leasing, compliance and risk management issues, but also working with their various underwriters across general liability, ISR, and contract works policies to name a few.  We have defended numerous Australian airports in liability litigation right across Australia, ranging from personal injury claims, to contract disputes and multimillion dollar business interruption and property damage claims by airlines and airport tenants. 

From the considerable experience and day to day involvement with Australian airports, the Carter Newell Aviation team has produced Australia’s first national Airports Liability and Compliance Guide.  This Guide is a comprehensive review of the legislation, case law and penalty regimes across four key areas of airport compliance:

• Design and development
• Operations, services and pricing
• Safety and security 
• Environment and culture
