Eric A. Cunningham III

Eric Cunningham draws upon his extensive complex litigation skills and aerospace law acumen in representing clients across the aerospace industry, from cases arising out of domestic and foreign aerospace disasters to business and insurance disputes involving participants in aerospace and other industries.

Eric's experience as an aircraft owner and pilot enhances his ability to address sophisticated technical issues with clients and experts, which he simplifies for explanation and adjudication.

The breadth of Eric's aerospace work includes his representation of product and component manufacturers, maintenance facilities, airlines, pilots, air traffic control, and insurers. In addition to the mishap-related defense work, Eric also counsels clients involved in business disputes arising in aerospace, insurance, and other fields—and he litigates these disputes when necessary. As such, while his practice primarily focuses on aerospace law, Eric offers a general practice serving clients in various industries and businesses.

Over the years, Eric's practice has been based out of Chicago and Kansas City, serving clients' interests from Honolulu to New York and beyond.
