Transportation: Aviation: Regulatory

Hogan Lovells has one of the deepest and longest standing traditional aviation practices and is the top firm in UAS/drones. We field a fully committed team of genuine aviation specialists who advise on regulatory, aviation finance and leasing, antitrust, airline alliances and joint ventures, litigation, legislative/lobbying, M&A, and environmental matters. We help U.S. and foreign airlines, airports, joint ventures, banks, lessors, government authorities, equipment manufacturers, repair facilities, trade associations, business operators, fractional ownership providers, uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS/drone) manufacturers/operators, public private partnerships, commercial space companies, and corporate and high net worth individuals navigate the challenges of the industry. We also advise clients involved at the cutting edge of innovation that is reshaping transportation and non-aviation clients that have direct interests in the sector and are affected by FAA, DOT, and other regulators.

Our clients benefit from our lawyers' experience in public service, which includes holding positions such as Chief Counsel of the FAA, Special Counsel to the Administrator of the FAA, Special Assistant to the Secretary of Transportation and to a member of the NTSB, Executive Assistant to the Chair and Vice Chair of the Civil Aeronautics Board, Senior Counsel in the Office of Legal Policy at the DOJ, and senior policy positions at the White House.
