LIDW 2026 - The Invisible Supply Chain: How Tier‑by‑Tier Weaknesses Are Driving the Next Wave of Aviation Disputes

During London International Disputes Week, Hausfeld, HKA, Wilmerhale, HFW, and Advance TRS will hold a panel discussion with leading arbitration experts to unpack how supply chain visibility, compliance failures, sanctions risk and workforce “brain drain” are interacting to create arbitration events.

Join us on 04 June to explore why the aviation supply chain is far from linear — it’s a complex, fragile network stretching across Tier 1 OEMs, Tier 2 component manufacturers, Tier 3 logistics partners and Tier 4 micro suppliers. With spare parts scarcity, workforce attrition, sanctions exposure and opaque third party dependencies, this ecosystem now sits at the centre of many of today’s aviation disputes. 

Speakers include:

  • Ned Beale from Hausfeld
  • Michael Greenop from WilmerHale
  • Olesya Prantyuk from HKA
  • Simon Dean-McCarroll from HKA
  • Guy Marrison from HFW
  • Jonathan Edwards from Advance TRS
Practical information

This event is at Churchill War Rooms, Clive Steps, King Charles Street, London, SW1A 2AQ on Thursday 4th June at 11.30 am.
