Aviation Law FAQs

How can an aviation attorney help my private jet or charter business?

An aviation attorney helps ensure your contracts, operational structure, and dispute strategy align with best practices. This includes drafting and reviewing agreements, identifying risk areas that lead to disputes, resolving commercial conflicts, and protecting your financial and ownership interests through negotiation and litigation.

What types of disputes are common in the aviation industry?

Frequent issues include contract breaches, payment and collections disputes, ownership and partnership conflicts, lease disagreements, misrepresentation claims, fiduciary duty violations and other business torts.

Do you represent both small and large aviation companies?

Yes. We represent startups, established aviation businesses, and individual aircraft owners involved in management, charter, or operational disputes.

How early should I involve an aviation attorney?

Ideally before a dispute escalates. Early legal guidance preserves leverage and reduces the risk of costly litigation.

Can you assist with disputes involving aircraft management agreements and operational control issues?

Yes. These cases often arise when contractual language does not match actual operations or marketing. We analyze agreements, conduct, and business practices to allocate liability and pursue or defend claims involving breach of contract, misrepresentation, or fiduciary duties.

Do you handle litigation involving allegations of illegal charter or misrepresentation in private aviation?

Yes. We represent aviation businesses and aircraft owners in disputes involving illegal charter allegations, misrepresentation claims, and conflicts arising from how services were marketed or performed. These matters often carry high-dollar exposure and reputational risk, and we develop litigation strategies designed to protect clients’ interests.
