Peter Savory

Travel & International Law

Peter came to the Bar with considerable international commercial experience. In his former career he was responsible for negotiating and contracting the tours of major performing arts groups throughout Europe and Asia, dealing with multi-jurisdiction contracts in respect of fees, sponsorship, royalties, travel and hotel arrangements. Inevitably he also encountered first-hand the occasional perils of such complexity.

Within his practice at the Bar, Peter is instructed by both Claimants and Defendants and appears regularly in fast and multi track matters, as well as associated applications and cost matters. Within his travel practice he has been instructed in a wide range of matters including aviation claims, PI matters, jurisdictional arguments and pleading advice, cancellations, insurance disputes, and even losses from drone incursions.

Peter has experience at multiday trials and other hearings in acting for major airlines. Cases have included on-the-ground manual handling injuries, claims by maintenance workers in-aircraft, and in-flight crew injury. Peter regularly advises and is experienced at considering detailed technical data including weather reporting and navigation. He has also had to consider the interplay between EU regulations and post-Brexit law, as well as cross-jurisdictional pleadings. Quantum of costs where relevant, and advice on offers, naturally forms part of his aviation practice.

He has a busy paperwork practice and can turnaround paperwork at short notice.
