Gagrats

The aviation group at Gagrats is well-equipped to handle a range of transactional, litigious, and regulatory matters, both domestic and cross-border, including financing and leasing, restructuring, and investments, as well as M&A, commercial agreements, and deregistration and repossession. The team is also adept at advising commercial airlines, lessors, and aviation authorities on related tax and employment mandates arising from new operation establishments in India, the hiring of personnel, and tax avoidance and deductions. Rustam Gagrat and Uma Nagarajan jointly spearhead the department, and both specialise in air transport operations, multi-jurisdictional leasing, and aircraft financing, alongside regulatory issues. For sale and leaseback arrangements, Arpana Dhariwal is the main contact in the team.
