Let Chico & Nunes help you navigate the aviation transportation industry

Maximize your opportunities for successful outcomes with legal support from our Chicago-based aviation attorneys

Our lawyers provide legal and strategic business advice to clients who do business in aviation and related operational industries. We also assist those who are looking to enter or expand operations in this highly competitive industry.

With years of collective experience dealing with issues associated with large hub airports, our attorneys have a deep understanding of the complexities involved in airport operations and development. We bring unique insights to the day-to-day functioning of airports and the challenges of balancing the needs of public and private sector stakeholders.

We’ve had the privilege of advising on some of the largest and most complex transportation transactions in the country, including cargo facility leases and alternative construction delivery methods such as Construction Manager at Risk and Design/Build projects. Our clients have handled billions of dollars in airport infrastructure projects.

Our aviation attorneys offer sophisticated legal advice concerning compliance with federal regulatory requirements, business enterprise (ACDBE and M/W/D/VBE/BEPD) guidelines, and other airport-specific contracting issues. In addition, we’ve successfully secured a range of funding sources for these complex projects, from federal grants and private investment to TIFIA loans and general airport revenues.

Our legal team works with a diverse range of clients, including airlines, prime contractors, subcontractors, concessionaires, and others looking to do business at airports. From developing bid responses to public solicitations, to assisting with contract negotiations, to navigating bid protests and disputes, we’re here to support you through every step of the bidding and contracting process.

Beyond legal services, we help identify contract and partnership opportunities for your business, offering strategic advice to boost your success with airport projects.
