For more than 30 years, Jap’s practice has been primarily focused on representing national and international clients in structuring and closing transactions involving the sale, registration, leasing, financing and operation of large commercial and business aircraft. He also provides services and advice with respect to various related matters and issues which may arise in recording documents with the FAA Aircraft Registry located in Oklahoma City and, more recently, in registering interests with the International Registry created in 2006 pursuant to an international treaty (which relates to the international perfection and enforcement of rights in aircraft and engines). He regularly provides counsel to clients from various sectors of the aviation industry on such matters.
