The International Comparative Legal Guide to: 2020: 1

I am privileged to have been invited to preface the 2020 and inaugural edition of The
International Comparative Legal Guide to: Aviation Finance & Leasing, designed to become one of the most comprehensive comparative legal guides to the practice of aviation finance & leasing available today. K&L Gates LLP is delighted to serve as the Guide's Contributing Editor.
Aviation finance remains a compelling contributor directly and indirectly to both global and local economies alike, and developments in this most dynamic, complex and interlinked of sectors are necessarily keenly followed and their effects far-reaching. The pace of change affecting those economies and therefore the practice of aviation finance simply increases all the time, and the challenges that it brings demand no less than simply the best from the best legal practitioners specialising in aviation finance.
It was therefore to be expected that the invitation to participate in this publication was
well received by the world's leading law firms, as well as other partners involved in the project.
Our sincere thanks go to both Global Legal Group for their efforts in bringing together such preeminent contributors across the globe and to those involved themselves for so generously sharing their knowledge and expertise in a single volume, thereby ensuring the quality and value of this edition of the Guide as an authoritative reference work for matters pertaining to aviation finance.
I hope you find this edition of the Guide an indispensable working material as well as
an interesting read in its own right, and I and Global Legal Group will welcome any
suggestions or feedback on it at any time.
