King & Spalding LLP

King & Spalding LLP focuses on both international and domestic transactions in the aviation finance sector, representing airlines, unmanned aviation corporations, and financial entities in a variety of matters. The practice is spearheaded by Carolyn Alford in Atlanta and Todd Holeman in New York, with the team adept at handling Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, aquisitional matters, transaction financing, and the leasing of aircraft. Charlotte’s Christopher Buchanan  represents a variety of stakeholders in his practice but is renowned for his knowledge of the payroll support program, which has become legislatively significant in recent years. Aside from this, he frequently advises on the acquisition of Part 135 operators and Part 145 MROs. In Washington DC, Stephen Basking has a strong track record in the intellectual property space and the practice is strengthened further by Arthur Steinberg in New York, who predominantly works on restructuring cases. DC-based Brett Seifarth has a broad skillset, contributing to asset back securitizations, the leasing of aircraft equipment, and the drafting of charter agreements.
