Partners Keith Barrett and Peter Williams specialise in aircraft and aviation claims and represent people involved in plane crashes. We also act for families whose relatives have died in an aviation accident.

Keith is currently instructed by families affected by the Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad in June 2025. He will provide vital legal help for Air India victims, including those who have tragically lost relatives in the disaster.

As an aviation claims specialist lawyer, Keith will work with official investigators in India and the UK to support families affected and recover appropriate crash compensation.

Keith also currently represents people seriously injured in 2024 on a Singapore Airlines flight which was forced to divert to Bangkok on route between London and Singapore when it hit extreme turbulence. Legal claims for compensation are ongoing.

Keith previously acted for the family of Gordon Emin, killed with four others in an RAF helicopter accident in Kabul, Afghanistan in 2015. The coroner issued a Preventing Further Deaths warning to the MOD, voicing concern over unsatisfactory management of radio communications and clearance of the landing site which was also used as a football pitch.

Keith also achieved settlement for a family with two young children injured when a Jet Airways plane crashed landed in Goa in 2017. He represented the family of Red Arrows pilot Flt. Lt Sean Cunningham who was killed when he was ejected from a jet during testing.
