About Us

At AirAdvisor, we are dedicated to ensuring air travelers receive the compensation they are entitled to for flight disruptions. We handle claims related to delays, cancellations, missed connections, and airline issues like overbooking. Since June 2025, we launched a baggage claims service for lost, delayed, or destroyed luggage. Operating across the EU, UK, and other markets, we focus on protecting air passenger rights globally. We have processed over 480,000 claims from 221 countries, with a 4.7-star rating from 25,000+ reviews. We operate in 21 languages, with 9 more planned this year. As a fast-growing startup with international expansion ambitions, we aim to reach 1 million claims by the end of 2026.

We seek a skilled Litigation Lawyer specializing in consumer flight claims, particularly in small claims procedures, to lead in-court collections and potentially open their own boutique legal firm in Italy. Pre-court collections are managed by paralegals. You will file batches of court cases to recover compensation and reimbursements for passengers, including ticket refunds. Our claims include EU261 compensation for delays, cancellations, denied boarding, and baggage claims under the Montreal Convention.

If legal decisions are unjust, we may escalate to seek legal reforms. There are PR opportunities for court victories and legal issues to raise public awareness. This role is ideal for high performers with strong litigation experience and a passion for consumer rights advocacy in the airline industry.

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