Earlier this year, London-based partner Richard Hakes became the first-ever attorney in private practice to be named in eVTOL Insights’ Power Book 2024, which celebrates 20 thought leaders, influencers and innovators shaping the advanced air mobility market. Prior to this recognition, the firm’s transportation policy and analysis lead, Julia Norsetter, formerly with the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, was recognized in the publisher’s 2023 “Women in eVTOL: Special Report.”
