Aircraft Leasing & Sales Agreements

Structuring Aircraft Leasing Contracts

Aircraft leasing is a vital financial and operational strategy for airlines, private operators, and leasing companies. Whether structuring an operating lease, finance lease, or ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance & Insurance) agreement, it is essential to define clear terms that protect all parties involved. We assist in negotiating lease terms, payment structures, maintenance obligations, and return conditions to ensure compliance with aviation laws and minimize financial risks. Our legal expertise helps clients avoid common pitfalls, such as hidden liabilities or unclear repossession rights, ensuring their assets are legally and financially secure.

Navigating Aircraft Sales & Purchase Transactions

The sale or purchase of an aircraft involves complex negotiations, regulatory approvals, and financial structuring that require expert legal guidance. We assist buyers and sellers in drafting contracts, performing due diligence, and ensuring regulatory compliance with authorities such as GACA, FAA, and EASA. From handling aircraft title transfers to structuring international transactions, our advisory services help mitigate risks related to payment security, ownership structures, and contractual liabilities. Our goal is to ensure smooth and transparent transactions that protect our clients' financial and operational interests.

Managing Lease Disputes & Repossession Rights

Lease agreements often lead to disputes related to late payments, maintenance obligations, or early terminations, which can result in legal and financial complications. We provide legal guidance in resolving contractual disputes, enforcing repossession rights, and negotiating settlements to protect the interests of aircraft lessors and lessees. Our team assists in navigating default clauses, regulatory requirements for repossession, and cross-border legal challenges to ensure a legally compliant and efficient resolution. By proactively addressing potential risks, we help our clients avoid unnecessary litigation and financial losses.
