Air Law Office, P.A.

Air Law Office, P.A. is an aviation law firm for business aviation clients worldwide. The firm is based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It handles the sale, purchase and financing of large and small aircraft. It also advises on structuring, registration, leasing, operating and chartering aircraft.

The firm works with aircraft owners, operators, lessees and lenders. Its goal is to complete each transaction in an efficient and cost effective way. It negotiates purchase and sale agreements and loan documents for domestic, international and cross border deals.

Structuring advice covers the best venue to register an aircraft, the form of entity that should own it and how it should be operated. The firm works with each client's tax, financial and business advisers when it does this. It also reviews airframe and engine maintenance programs.

Fractional ownership and block time deals need careful structuring. The firm says an improperly structured block time or joint use arrangement can be treated as commercial operation by the FAA. That can put insurance cover and crew at risk, so the firm helps clients structure these deals correctly.

The firm also gives legal advice on airport matters. These include expansion and day to day business for airport tenants, FBOs, airport owners and airport operators. It helps clients set up an FBO or rent a hangar and meet local, state and federal duties.

The website says the firm has worldwide aviation legal experience. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. Consultations can be requested through the contact page.
