MULUH & PARTNERS is one of the few Law Firms in the Central African Sub Region that is equipped to provide legal and financial advice to independent aircraft operators and related industries, or other industries using aircraft for logistic purposes. Our goal is to provide them with the best possible solutions concerning registration, operation, financing, lease and insurance, and other related claims.

MULUH & PARTNERS is a Law Firm with integrity and having Aviation Law as one of its key areas of practice and based in Douala-Cameroon, the nucleus of the Central African Sub Region (Cameroon, Chad, Central African Republic, Congo, Gabon, and Equatorial Guinea). The office is headed Mr. Jude Muluh, who has earned his merits practicing in both the English Common Law and the French Civil Law jurisdictions of the country in business law and is aided a flock of lawyers, paralegals, and consultants, every one of them specializing in a niche of the complicated law system. The strong point of MULUH & PARTNERS is the fact that it is a bilingual law firm with its staff having a mastery of both English and French as their working languages. This has its advantages in understanding and interpreting the laws of the different countries of the Sub-region.

When an airplane crash occurs, only time can help heal the pain caused the tragedy. Air crash victims’ families and any survivors can find solace in determining the reason for the plane crash. They look for ways to prevent a similar air tragedy from happening again. Identifying the truth and determining the responsibility behind air crashes and raising public awareness about aviation safety issues has been the driving force behind the aviation law practice of MULUH & PARTNERS.

In order to win substantial settlements from airlines, aircraft manufacturers, and aviation insurers – all entities with vast corporate resources – a Law Firm must be willing to make a comparable investment in time and money. We are willing to make that investment.

Aviation Law Experts
It takes specialized knowledge of the aviation industry and an understanding of aircraft mechanics and design to successfully litigate a complex aviation case. The fact is, most aviation “accidents” are no accident at all. However, in order to prove aviation negligence or aircraft defect, a probable cause theory must be developed and painstakingly substantiated based on past accidents, mechanical knowledge, and actual aircraft piloting experience.

In order to win substantial settlements from aircraft manufacturers, airlines, and aviation insurers – all entities with vast corporate resources – a Law Firm must be willing to make a comparable investment in time and money. And perhaps most importantly, a Firm must invest in the careers of attorneys attuned to the idiosyncratic nuances of aviation litigation. We are not saying we are the only one; rather pride ourselves as the best. And in that particular branch of law, we know practically all there is to know. Besides, whenever or wherever necessary we are assisted knowledgeable specialists.

There are international regulations, making it all even more complicated. However, nations, individuals, and companies need to fly at one time or another. Modern economic reality is unthinkable without aircraft. This write-up is destined to make you aware of the intricacies involved in buying, renting, leasing airplanes or helicopters, let alone owning and operating one or several.

PASSENGERS OR PAID LOAD
Airline passenger associations and individuals raise their voices. A voice about service and waiting and delays. They don’t want to be considered merely payload. And they have a point. Airlines raise their voice. Rising costs for airport facilities, fuel, and levies of all kinds make flying more expensive. That is where MULUH & PARTNERS can be of assistance, either for the passengers or for the airlines.

AIRPORT INTRICACIES
Airports are getting more crowded the day. So there is a need to enlarge existing ones or even to build completely new ones. The vast amount of planning and authorizations this involves will be no surprise to anyone. Shops, catering, freight, and all kinds of infrastructure. Employees, customs, border police, waiters, and passengers. Think only: security and entries and exits. It also involves quite a number of permits and contracts for all kinds of suppliers and handlers. Think only: shop or parking, and let your fantasy run wild. That’s where we can lend a hand. We specialize in all kinds of particular contracts. From leases to personnel, from permitted to strictly forbidden. And all in between.
