Over the past few years our aviation finance practice grew tremendously with high-profile aviation finance clients looking to McGuireWoods for representation. These clients hire us for our aviation industry knowledge and unequalled acumen in financing, leasing, purchasing and selling of corporate aircraft and acquisitions, dispositions and management of portfolios of commercial aircraft.
McGuireWoods works on domestic and cross-border single and multi-investor acquisitions, dispositions and financings, on six of the seven continents.
The team represents aviation industry clients in bankruptcy courts and in related federal and state court litigation. When appropriate, we advise on restructurings, workouts, exercising of a secured creditor’s remedies and bankruptcy cases. Our lawyers also assist public and private companies and high-net-worth individuals in connection with corporate aircraft transactions including purchase, sale, leasing and financing.
