ABOUT US
Since the firm’s inception in 2015, it has handled transactions worth more than a billion dollars, for more than two dozen clients drawn from the banking, investment and asset trading segments of the aviation asset finance industry.
No longer the solo practice it once was, the firm now consists of five experienced attorneys, in addition to significant transaction management and paralegal expertise.
Brian Bolger
Principal
Brian Bolger is the founder and principal of the firm. After working in two of the aviation industry’s major hubs – Ireland and California – he opened his own practice in 2015.
Brian began his career in the asset finance team of one of Ireland’s premier corporate law firms, and later moved to a senior in-house counsel role at a large commercial aircraft lessor in California. As in-house counsel, the dual challenges facing legal teams in the industry became apparent: attracting high-quality in-house talent and maintaining outside counsel fees at sustainable levels that don't compromise quality. Brian founded the firm with the intent to meet both challenges at once.
As a lawyer qualified on both sides of the Atlantic - New York, England and Ireland. With both private practice experience in Ireland and in-house counsel experience in the US, Brian brings a unique blend of expertise, context and commercial understanding to resourcing clients' legal needs.
