Aviation Law
We represent a diverse range of domestic and international clients, including insurers, insureds, manufacturers, maintenance, repair and overhaul facilities, airlines, aircraft owners, air carriers, fixed-base operators, and parts distributors. Our expertise also includes assisting clients with the purchase, sale, lease, and financing of aircraft, engines, and related equipment.
Aviation Litigation
Litigation in the aviation sector typically involves the overlap of various legal issues and the aviation industry. Every dispute in this industry thus benefits from the knowledge that our attorneys have acquired through years of experience in the aviation sector. Whether it be a commercial dispute involving the value of logbooks or a property damage dispute involving high value aircraft and engines—we get it.
Our attorneys are seasoned litigators with deep knowledge of all things aviation. We understand the aviation industry and thrive in the court room. This combination lends itself to effective and tailored litigation strategy for our aviation clients that preserves our clients’ best interests.
Aviation Transactions
Aviation transactions are complex and therefore require a professional with the experience necessary to address important legal considerations unique to this area of law. Our attorneys are adept at counseling clients through high-pressure and time-sensitive transactions. Though protecting our clients’ interests is our highest priority, we never lose sight of the importance of closing a deal. For many years, we have effectively counseled our clients through aviation transactions of every nature, including aircraft purchases and sales, the sale or acquisition of aviation businesses, and engine sales and acquisitions.
Aircraft Accident Defense
Few areas of the law are as diverse and challenging as aircraft accident defense work. Depending on the specific circumstances, any number of parties may prove responsible or liable in an accident. It is important that causation and exposure is ascertained early on by a team of professionals with experience and skill. Our team of attorneys and network of experts can hone in on essential factors to develop the strongest possible defense.
Though always prepared to present an aggressive defense through trial and appeal, our attorneys recognize the value in early preparation to achieve cost-effective goals, often resulting in the resolution of accident disputes pre-suit or otherwise early in the litigation process, thereby saving our clients significant costs.
Administrative Law
Our attorneys have substantial experience representing clients in matters involving government agency issues and disputes. We understand the challenges agency regulations present both procedurally and substantively. Our attorneys have appeared before various agencies, including the DOT, FAA and DHS with representation concerning regulatory impediments or enforcement actions. Whether representing clients before federal or state agencies, we have successfully guided our clients through complex regulatory challenges to arrive at the best outcomes.
