With more than fifty years of experience across all facets of complex aircraft transactions—ranging from corporate and private flight operations to major domestic and international airline operations—Jarvis & Associates, P.A. provides sophisticated legal analysis and solutions across the entire aviation industry. Our practice is dedicated exclusively to aviation law.
We specialize in domestic and cross‑border aircraft and engine sales, finance, securitization, and leasing transactions. Our representation includes large transport and general aviation aircraft; engines, APUs, and major components; demand charter and commercial airline operations; MRO operations; and lessors, lenders, financial institutions, and private owners. Our services extend from negotiation and deal structuring through closing and ongoing administration.
We advise on the full range of commercial aviation agreements, including ACMI arrangements, wet-leasing and charter agreements, maintenance service agreements, outsourcing contracts, and restructuring/workouts. Our experience ensures that clients receive precise, commercially practical guidance tailored to the operational realities of the aviation industry.
Extensive experience in U.S. and international aircraft registration, regulatory proceedings, and aircraft recovery. Services include FAA and worldwide aircraft registration, ownership structures for non-U.S. citizens, aircraft liens and mortgages, judicial/non-judicial repossessions, and International Registry filings.
We represent aircraft owners, operators, and underwriters in all aspects of aviation insurance matters, including hull loss and damage claims, coverage disputes, defense of sureties and bond liability, product liability, and representation for domestic and London underwriters.
Mr. Jarvis brings unique technical expertise as a commercial pilot and former U.S. Marine Corps Air Wing specialist in jet engines and aircrew member flying as a combat helicopter crew chief and a plane captain for fixed wing jet aircraft. We assist clients in evaluating both the aircraft and its technical records, ensuring that discrepancies, maintenance events, and compliance issues are fully understood and properly documented. There is no value to any aircraft without complete and accurate records.
We work closely with experienced technical colleagues who provide pre‑purchase inspections, monitoring of maintenance events, real‑time oversight of inspection progress, clearance of discrepancies, and maintenance forecasting. This integrated legal‑technical approach ensures a complete and accurate assessment of aircraft condition and value.
We maintain long-standing relationships across every segment of the aviation industry. References from clients in corporate aviation, commercial airline operations, leasing, finance, and technical services are available to prospective clients upon request.
We focus our attention on a select group of clients, providing prompt, personal, and highly specialized service—without the bureaucracy, impersonal treatment, or high cost associated with large firms.
When you see a picture of an aircraft anywhere on this site, our team has worked on a transaction involving that particular aircraft (or in a few cases one of the same make and model), either the initial sale and delivery from the manufacturer (Boeing, Gulfstream, Dassault, etc.) to the initial owner or a subsequent sale or lease and many related follow-on transactions.
