Financing and Loan Securitization
Aviation Legal Group has experience with both domestic and international financing and loan securitization issues. Regardless of where you are based, Aviation Legal Group can assist you with your specific financial requirements.
Refinancing
Occasionally, it makes sense for our clients to consider refinancing an existing aircraft loan. We keep abreast of legal and tax considerations around the world that could assist our clients in obtaining the most favorable financing available. We can review your current loan to make sure that it is well-suited to your needs, and recommend alternatives if it is not.
Outright Purchase
We can assist a purchaser in negotiating the loan documents, selecting a venue for the maximum cost-savings on delivery, deciding where to register the aircraft, and determining the form and venue of the entity which will own the aircraft and the entity which will operate the aircraft.
United States of America (Domestic)
We assist lenders and borrowers in accomplishing their financing objectives. When representing borrowers, we are well qualified to assist with the selection of the lender and lending structure (e.g., mortgage or synthetic lease) that best suit the borrower's needs. When representing the lender, we assist with selection of the lending structure and draft documentation to best protect the lender's investment and security interest in the aircraft.

The Capetown Convention is an exciting development for aircraft owners and lenders, in that it may establish a global registry of interests against aircraft title, providing lenders the confidence necessary to expand the geographical boundaries acceptable to loan underwriters.
