About Us

At AirAdvisor, we are dedicated to ensuring air travelers receive the compensation they are entitled to for flight disruptions. Whether it’s a delay, cancellation, missed connection, or an airline-related issue like overbooking, we have successfully processed over 450,000 claims, earning a 4.6-star rating from 22,000+ reviews. Currently operating in 20 languages (with 10 more forthcoming this year), AirAdvisor is an ambitious and fast-growing startup with a clear vision for international expansion, aiming to reach 1 million claims by the end of 2026.️

We are seeking a highly skilled and dedicated Solicitor / Lawyer specializing in consumer flight claims (typically via small claims procedure) to lead in-court collections or those wanting to open their own boutique legal firm in Italy. Pre-court collections are managed by a team of paralegals. You will be responsible for filing batches of court cases to collect compensation and/or reimbursement of Out-of-Pocket Expenses (OPE) incurred by passengers and/or recover ticket refunds. AirAdvisor currently handles three types of claims: EU261 / UK261 compensation for flight delays, cancellations, and denied boarding. We will soon launch baggage claims (delayed or lost).

If the law or judge decides the case unfairly, we would consider escalating this to change the law, if feasible. There may be PR opportunities regarding court victories and legal issues to raise public awareness. This role is ideal for high performers who are able to self-perform, have strong litigation experience, and are passionate about advocating consumer rights in the airline industry.

The candidate must be free from conflicts of interest, meaning they are free to litigate claims against different airlines.

Requirements:

• A valid lawyer’s / solicitor’s license and legal insurance.
• A law degree from an accredited institution.
• Experience with small claims, consumer rights, or aviation law is a plus but not required.
• Knowledge of relevant consumer protection laws and aviation regulations is a plus but not required.
• Proven track record of successful in-court collection.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills to assess case merits, conduct legal research, and develop effective legal strategies.
• Ability to manage a caseload, prioritize tasks, meet deadlines, and track statutes of limitations.
• Experience in automating and standardizing claims management processes for scaling up quickly.

Responsibilities:

• Preparing and filing batches of cases in courts against different airlines, responding strongly to airline legal defenses (from substantive to jurisdictional defenses).
• Leading enforcement of court decisions, if necessary.
• Conducting legal research and gathering best practices for handling various issues.
• Negotiating in-court settlements, if applicable.
• Maintaining accurate case records, adhering to legal and ethical guidelines, and ensuring compliance with regulations.
• Staying updated on developments in consumer protection laws, aviation regulations, and legal precedents.
• Being professional, ambitious, and open to testing AI solutions and new approaches to claims management.
• Being self-aware, honest, and responsible for mistakes while driving continuous improvement.
• Being result-oriented, capable of delivering fast results and making a significant impact.
• Managing multiple projects simultaneously with initiative and independence.
• Exercising problem-solving skills and creative thinking.
• Working independently without constant supervision.
• Being devoted and eager to improve customer satisfaction, willing to go above and beyond.
• Having excellent communication skills to articulate complex ideas clearly and concisely.

What We Offer:

• Remote-first culture with flexible hours. You may relocate if desired.
• Opportunities for professional growth through global expansion and new markets.
• Dynamic work environment and learning opportunities in innovative areas.
• Supportive team of passionate and friendly colleagues across 11 countries.
