Zuckert, Scoutt & Rasenberger, L.L.P., is a Washington, D.C. law firm with over forty years of experience in aviation matters.  A significant portion of the firm's aviation practice involves aircraft transactions.   The firm represents airlines, banks, export credit agencies, financial institutions and leasing companies in structuring, negotiating and documenting a wide variety of transactions.  These have included finance and operating leases, numerous other forms of aircraft financings, aircraft sales agreements, and various forms of joint operating agreements.

One additional asset which the firm brings to the table in any aircraft transaction is an extensive background on aviation regulatory matters.  Often, the policies of the U.S. and other governments on particular aviation issues -- such as citizenship requirements, route swaps, wet- or dry-leases, slot transferability, noise standards, or aging aircraft -- will have a critical bearing on aircraft transactions.  Our familiarity with these regulatory issues strengthens our transactional capabilities:
