Our Aviation Finance and Regulation Group
For clients whose businesses require a deep understanding of the aviation sector in Canada and how it operates, they can count on Borden Ladner Gervais LLP’s decades of involvement and experience. The Firm’s aviation finance and regulation lawyers represent the world’s leading financiers and lessors in financing and leasing of aircraft and aircraft engines to Canadian airlines, including novation of existing leases and sale/leasebacks.
Our lawyers are particularly well known for representing creditors, including financiers and lessors of aircraft and aircraft engines, in significant Canadian airline bankruptcy and restructuring proceedings in the last 10 years, including Canada 3000, Royal Airlines, Air Canada, Jazz, Jetsgo and Zoom Airlines, among others.
