Aviation & maritime
Over the past 25 years, we have built a reputation as a leading aviation and yachting law firm. We have handled numerous client cases relating to purchase, sale, financing, structuring, outfitting and maintenance of commercial aircraft, private jets, helicopters and yachts with a combined asset value of several billion US dollars.
Throughout this time, we have forged strong industry connections and built a deep understanding of different jurisdictions. Combined with a profound understanding of your needs, we translate these into tailormade compliant solutions.
We are accustomed to working across borders, and this is vitally important in the aviation and maritime sector, when dealing with assets that always operate in an international environment.
