Creating a coordinated strategy for federal and state taxes, FAA compliance and liability protection planning
The key to creating an aircraft acquisition, ownership and operating structure is the ability to reconcile all of the competing tax, FAA and liability protection planning issues. Our attorneys are frequently sought as expert speakers on these topics.
The Business Aircraft Group attorneys are trained to handle all of these issues; we do not need to involve different "tax group", "aviation group" and "general corporate" lawyers. We provide one-stop shopping with the highest level of expertise and cutting-edge planning. We know how to balance the competing issues and offer our clients optimal finely tuned structures and planning advice.
