Orphan Engines: Hidden Collateral Risk in Mid-Market Aviation Deals
A last-minute email lands: your client is not just purchasing or leasing two twin-engine aircraft - two spare engines are now part of the deal. Now the questions start. Should the spares sit in the same SPV as the aircraft, or in a separate vehicle? What if the aircraft are held in separate SPVs? Are they leased assets or held under a bailment? If one aircraft needs an engine from the other SPV’s spare, who authorizes that, and what happens to the lease covenants?

Rewiring Rule 5.4: Private Capital’s Opening in U.S. Legal Services
Love it or loathe it, we must admit it: private equity (PE) funding has become a driving force and lifeblood across key industries in the U.S. and globally, especially where capital intensity, fragmentation, and regulatory complexity create barriers to scale.

Security That Travels: Cross-Border Perfection in Aviation Finance | JD Supra
Cross-border aviation finance presents a unique set of legal and practical challenges. As explored in our previous article, the mobility of aircraft, engines, and related assets means that financiers and lessors must navigate a complex web of international treaties and local laws to protect their interests.

The Challenges of Cross-Border Aviation Collateral
When airframes, engines, and other aircraft parts cross borders, the value and protection of collateral can shift just as quickly. For cross-border financiers and lessors, the assumption that their interests are fully secured can be upended by the complex interplay of international treaties and local laws. The result is a landscape where a security interest that appears robust in one jurisdiction may be vulnerable in another, especially after a default.
