Aviation

In a complex and multifaceted industry like aviation, special legal expertise is needed. An aviation client may require advice on asset-based financing, purchasing and leasing of aircraft and aviation-related equipment, insolvency matters, regulatory issues, airport or navigation issues or aviation claims. Few law firms can cover all of this ground.

Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP (FMC) has unrivalled expertise in aviation law and legal matters related to the aviation and travel industry. Our clients include domestic and foreign airlines, banks and other financiers of aircrafts and parts, aviation insurers, companies owning or leasing aircraft, international law firms representing clients with aviation interests in Canada, airport authorities and providers of aviation maintenance and repair services. We do not restrict ourselves to one area of the industry and as a result, we bring our experience of working with "the other side" to our clients’ legal issues. We move nimbly from one corporate culture to the next, from English to French, from common law to the civil code.
