Our aviation clients also seek our guidance on operational issues including import and export matters, insurance matters related to aviation, aviation regulatory compliance, safety risk management, and tax and customs-clearance planning for aircraft ownership and aviation in Russia.  If you are seeking the advice of an international aviation attorney, Marks & Sokolov may be able to help.

We have represented clients in multiple aircraft purchases and sales, and with regard to management, finance, leasing and chartering issues, corporate structures, and regulatory matters concerning the operation of foreign registered aircraft in Russia.
