Clark Hill Adds Aviation Specialist Roy Goldberg to Litigation Team

September 9, 2024

Clark Hill announced today that Roy Goldberg has joined its litigation team as a Member in Washington, D.C.

Goldberg’s primary focus is in the aviation industry. He represents airlines, airports, fixed-base operators, charter companies, helicopter companies, and other aviation industry entities in regulatory and litigation matters.

“I’ve been fascinated by the airline industry my entire life and strive to combine passion for the industry with practical legal judgment,” Goldberg said. My primary objective as a lawyer is to help ensure that airlines are able to operate without undue government interference and that airports are reasonably available to all aeronautical users.”

Goldberg uses federal preemption to get cases against airlines dismissed before discovery is required and to help ensure that airports comply with federal grant assurance obligations. His cases have involved successful challenges to airport rates and charges and protecting airports against legal claims based on noise and environmental issues. Goldberg also defends airlines in class actions and against claims under the antitrust laws, RICO, and various federal and state laws.

“We’re thrilled to have Roy joining our team. His niche focus in aviation greatly enhances our reach in that industry,” said Kaveri Subbarao, Executive Director for Strategic Growth of the firm’s litigation team.

Goldberg earned his law degree from the University of Colorado. He is currently the liaison between the American Bar Association and its Air and Space Law Forum and was President of the International Aviation Club in Washington, D.C. from 2020 to 2021.

Long Saga of Colorado AI Act Appears to Have Come to Close With Revised Law

Ever since its initial passage into law in 2024, the Colorado AI Act has been a lightning rod for controversy and calls for change. Over the ensuing two years, multiple attempts to amend the law were floated and proposed by consumer and industry groups. The implementation of the law itself was delayed several times to allow for such changes, with Governor Jared Polis calling a special session of the legislature last August to specifically address potential changes. All of those attempts appear to have culminated in Senate Bill 189 having passed both the Colorado House (57-6) and Senate (34-1) this week. The bill next heads to the desk of Governor Jared Polis where it is expected to be signed into law and to take effect as of January of 2027.
