Kennedys Adds Cunningham Swaim Aviation Trial Team

By General Aviation News Staff · November 12, 2026 · Leave a Comment

Beautiful downtown Dallas, Texas shot via helicopter from an altitude of about 600 feet at dusk on an early spring evening.

A 14-attorney team from Dallas-based aviation trial boutique firm Cunningham Swaim has joined global litigation firm Kennedys, establishing a new office in Dallas, Texas.

Led by partners Ross Cunningham and Steven Sanfelippo, the group represents airlines, insurers, manufacturers, and other aviation stakeholders in liability disputes, commercial matters, and catastrophic loss trials, according to Kennedys officials. Collectively, the trial team has handled more than 200 aviation trials nationwide across more than 1,500 trial days.

“Aviation litigation can involve extraordinary factual, technical, and legal complexity, and clients need an agile, creative team they can trust to navigate those challenges and deliver results,” said Cunningham. “Joining Kennedys gives us the opportunity to bring that experience and focus to a firm with the global reach, resources, existing aviation expertise, and insurance depth to support our clients wherever their matters take them.”

The move expands Kennedys’ global aviation practice, which includes approximately 50 attorneys across the United Kingdom, Europe, the Middle East, Asia Pacific, and Latin America. The Dallas location marks the firm’s 13th office in the United States.
