AirAdvisor is dedicated to ensuring air travelers receive the compensation they are entitled to for flight disruptions, including delays, cancellations, missed connections, and airline-related issues like overbooking. We operate in the EU, UK, and other international markets, focusing on protecting air passenger rights globally. We have successfully processed over 460,000 claims for clients from 221 countries, earning more than 22,000 reviews. Currently, we operate in 21 languages with 9 more forthcoming this year. As an ambitious and fast-growing startup, AirAdvisor aims for international expansion and plans to reach 1 million claims by the end of 2026.

We are seeking a highly skilled and dedicated lawyer specializing in consumer flight claims (typically via small claims procedure) to lead in-court collections, owning or wanting to open their own boutique legal firm in Spain. Pre-court collections are managed by a team of paralegals. Your responsibilities include filing batches of court cases to recover compensation and/or reimbursement of Out-of-Pocket Expenses (OPE) incurred by passengers and/or ticket refunds. Currently, we handle three types of claims: EU261 compensation for delays, cancellations, and denied boarding. We will soon launch baggage claims for delayed or lost luggage.

If the law or judge rules the case unfairly, we would consider escalating to change the law, if feasible. PR opportunities regarding court victories and legal issues for public awareness may also arise. This is an excellent opportunity for high performers with strong litigation experience and a passion for advocating consumer rights in the airline industry.

You must be free from conflicts of interest, meaning you are free to litigate claims against different airlines.

Responsibilities : Preparing and filing batches of cases in courts against airlines, responding to legal defenses, leading enforcement of court decisions if necessary, conducting legal research, negotiating settlements, maintaining case records, and staying updated on legal developments in consumer protection and aviation laws.
