The ‘professional, dedicated, and responsive’ aviation practice at Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP has a strong presence in the European, Latin American, and Asian transport markets. Out of the firm’s Washington DC office, Charles Donley leads a team that provides ’complete solutions’ to problems arising from antitrust matters, regulatory compliance, federal investigations, and commercial litigation. Donley’s client-orientated approach leaves companies fully informed and assured by the solutions proposed. His advice to several Chinese airlines on operational restrictions arising out of the Russian-Ukraine war speaks to his multi-jurisdictional expertise which is prevalent in the rest of his team. The DC office is strengthened by Josh Romanow, a corporate and transactional specialist who is well-equipped to advise on FAA and TSA regulatory compliance. The team is boosted by the experience of Laura Jennings Ochoa and Edward Sauer. Ochoa has a wealth of experience dealing with foreign aviation entities, assisting them with route proceedings, regulatory compliance, and commercial licensing. The scope of Sauer’s work is broad but his involvement in the firm’s representation of MIAT Mongolian Airlines is a highlight.
