Richard Pearson launches Avion Law
Specialist aviation lawyer Richard Pearson has launched Avion Law, a boutique law firm for both commercial and business aviation.
Pearson is a licensed English solicitor and has also been admitted to the State Bar of California, enabling him to advise clients on multi-jurisdictional aspects of cross-border transactions. He has almost 30 years of experience in advising a wide range of clients in the aviation industry, focusing on airlines and leasing companies in the commercial aviation sector, and individuals, corporate flight departments and charter/management companies in the sale and purchase, structuring of ownership, and the financing, management and operation of business jets.
Pearson was based in Paris for 20 years where he founded the Stephenson Harwood office. He then relocated with his family to California in 2013 where he has been working with the Santa Monica-based aviation law firm, Aerlex Law Group.
Pearson commented: “Drawing on a wealth of experience and proven business acumen, Avion Law will offer an unparalleled quality of service to clients in the commercial and business aviation industries. Determined to set new standards for the benefit of clients, so-called “alternative” fee arrangements will be the firm’s norm.”
