Aviation
We work with airlines, airports, aircraft lessors and handling companies. The focus is on leasing and fleet financing under the Cape Town Convention, certification and regulatory matters of the State Aviation Service, carrier liability under the Montreal Convention, war risk insurance and legal preparation for the resumption of flights.
Why PROCTOR
Aviation today is an industry that is legally preparing for a restart: fleet, certificates, war risk insurance, routes. PROCTOR supports leasing relations and the registration of rights in aircraft, builds positions in disputes with lessors and prepares carriers for the resumption of commercial flights.
We combine knowledge of the international aviation conventions with an understanding of the Ukrainian regulatory and wartime context, a combination that is critical right now.
