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.
