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 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 be launching 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 is an excellent opportunity 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.

• Experience in automating and standardizing claims management processes to scale 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.
• Legal research & accumulating best legal practices on how to deal with different issues.

• Maintaining accurate and detailed case records, adhering to all relevant legal and ethical guidelines, and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
