Our Expertise

Our Aviation Law practice is celebrated for its encyclopedic mastery of the legal frameworks governing the aviation industry, adeptly addressing multifaceted challenges ranging from regulatory intricacies to high-stakes contentious proceedings. We possess an exhaustive command of critical domestic and international regimes, including India’s Aircraft Act, 1934, and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) regulations, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) standards under Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations, and foundational treaties such as the 1944 Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation, the 1999 Montreal Convention, and the Cape Town Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment.

Operating fluidly from Delhi to global aviation nerve centers like Dubai, London, and Singapore, our advocates—equipped with decades of specialized experience—serve an illustrious clientele: commercial airlines, aircraft manufacturers, leasing entities, regulatory authorities, insurers, and private aviation operators. Our expertise ensures operational compliance, contractual integrity, and dispute resolution with a level of precision that sets the gold standard in aviation jurisprudence.

Our Comprehensive Services

Aircraft Leasing & Financing

We provide end-to-end legal stewardship in drafting, negotiating, and enforcing complex aircraft lease agreements (wet, dry, and operating leases), financing structures (including asset-backed securitization and export credit agency-backed loans), and purchase contracts compliant with the Cape Town Convention. For instance, we recently orchestrated a $50 million cross-border leasing transaction for a prominent airline, ensuring airtight compliance with DGCA and international protocols.

Regulatory Compliance

Our counsel navigates the labyrinthine requirements of DGCA CARs (Civil Aviation Requirements), FAA Part 121/135 certifications, and bilateral air service agreements, delivering comprehensive audits, licensing support, and advisory services to ensure seamless operational legality across jurisdictions.

Aviation Disputes

Backed by our Supreme Court cadre—5 AORs and 15 Senior Advocates—we represent clients in high-stakes litigation and arbitration under India’s Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, and international arbitral regimes (e.g., ICC, LCIA). Our advocacy spans passenger liability claims under the Montreal Convention, cargo disputes, and breach of contract proceedings, securing favorable outcomes with authoritative precision.

Safety & Liability

We handle the legal ramifications of aviation incidents with unmatched dexterity, conducting liability analyses under the Aircraft Rules, 1937, managing insurance claims per the Insurance Act, 1938, and advising on accident investigations aligned with Annex 13 of the Chicago Convention, safeguarding clients against reputational and financial risks.

Cross-Border Transactions

Leveraging our 75 international advocates across 25+ jurisdictions, we orchestrate multinational aviation deals—such as joint ventures, MRO (maintenance, repair, and overhaul) agreements, and aircraft repossession under the Cape Town Convention—with seamless coordination and jurisdictional fluency.

Airport Operations

We offer strategic counsel on Public-Private Partnership (PPP) airport management contracts, privatization frameworks under India’s Airports Authority Act, 1994, and regulatory disputes with aviation authorities, ensuring operational efficacy and legal resilience.
