James Healy-Pratt, Esq., qualified as an English and Irish solicitor and New York attorney, is widely considered Europe’s “go-to” aviation lawyer for a range of commercial and tortious disputes. Mr. Healy-Pratt has been a longstanding and active proponent of mediation and arbitration, both from within the insurance industry and in private practice. Having acted as counsel in over 1,000 mediations, he brings first-hand experience of the process from matters on five continents. Uniquely, he has represented both insurers and plaintiffs in complex international litigation, arbitration and mediation.
Mr. Healy-Pratt has an extensive background managing high-profile aviation, insurance, class-action, mass tort and personal injury disputes, and has been involved in most large aviation disputes worldwide over the past 30 years. This includes disputes relating to international sanctions (US, EU and UN), as well as insurance coverage disputes between all risk and war risk insurers and reinsurers.
As former group general counsel of a leading international insurer based in London, Mr. Healy-Pratt led a team of global lawyers primarily in the areas of international marine, aviation and transport, and non-marine insurance and reinsurance, as well as general commercial and regulatory legal affairs. This included extensive European Union (EU) antitrust and sanctions (US, EU and UN) matters relating to the international insurance market.
