  • Founded in 2003, Travlaw now acts on behalf of over 400 travel and leisure clients, including some of the most well-known travel businesses not only in the UK, but also Europe and further afield. We act for some of the biggest companies (Tui, Expedia and Jet2 to name a few) right down to assisting new start up businesses – and everyone in-between! With decades of combined experience in the industry, our relationship is unrivalled in serving both UK and international travel companies in pretty much any way you might imagine:

    • Our highly experienced Litigation Team has handled thousands of cases over the years. Our expertise covers trips and slips, illness cases and a number of high value and catastrophic incidents. Advice on disputes with business partners, the ASA and Trading Standards are also regular instructions.
    • The well established Commercial Team offers efficient, pragmatic advice and has been at the forefront of advising on many regulatory changes affecting the travel industry in recent years, including advising on the Package Travel Regulations 2018, the 2018 amended ATOL Regulations, GDPR and the Payment Services Directive 2.
    • In terms of Employment, Travlaw advises on employment law, HR issues, documentation, such as staff handbooks and polices and also handle claims brought by employees, often through to tribunal if needs be.
    • For Corporate needs
    • And that’s not all – Travlaw is a founding member of the International Travel Law Network (ITLN), enabling clients to benefit from the excellent link Travlaw has with the likeminded firms in other jurisdictions. We are members of a number of leading trade associations, and both the firm and the team have been highly ranked in legal directories for many years.

    But, don’t just take our word for it!:

    “Travlaw is pound for pound one of the best travel law firms out there. Use them for all your travel needs going forward. They are very good value too….”

    “I have worked with Travlaw for a number of years and in that time have had to deal with many legal issues from revising booking conditions, to negotiating with ground handler contracts, to sensitive employment related matters, to difficult customers.

    The team has always been available, supportive, knowledgeable and efficient. The team constantly updates me with what’s going on in the world of travel and helps me negotiate my way around the Package Travel regs and other related legal matters. I was recommended to Travlaw by a colleague in the industry and I have personally recommended the company to many other travel-related contacts.”

Their experience in the travel law field has given us greater security and their advice has often saved us time and money. I would not hesitate to recommend Travlaw to anyone looking for legal advice relating to legal matters in the travel industry.”
