Aero Law Center

Aero Law Center is an aviation law firm based in Fort Lauderdale. It works for aircraft owners, airlines, manufacturers, charter operators, maintenance shops and other aviation businesses. It says about 99 percent of its cases are in aviation and aerospace.

The firm groups its work into litigation, transactions and compliance. It says it has handled over one billion dollars in transactions and that all of its partners are board certified.

In litigation, the firm acts for airlines, aircraft owners, manufacturers and maintenance facilities facing complex disputes. Cases range from class action claims and wrongful death suits to contract disputes. It lists work on private jet, aircraft hangar, aircraft maintenance, repair shop and fixed base operator lawsuits. The firm says it knows FAA rules well, and it aims to defend clients, limit damage to their reputations and win fair settlements.

In transactions, the firm helps buyers and sellers of aircraft. Its lawyers draft and review purchase agreements, run lien and title searches and help with financing. They also check that deals follow national and international aviation law. The firm covers aircraft purchase, sale, brokering, leasing and fractional jet ownership. It runs a program called PropWise for aircraft purchases.

In compliance, the firm advises aircraft owners, charter operators and maintenance organisations on FAA oversight. It helps with FAA investigations and hearings, aircraft registration and certification, and the structure of operations. It encourages clients to bring in counsel early to avoid delays and penalties. When a case must go to court, it aims to protect certificates and keep the business running.

The firm offers ongoing support through its AeroShield legal plan. It also runs a podcast, a scholarship and an attorney referral service, and it offers a free first consultation.
