NAFA Welcomes New Member: Aero Law Center
Edgewater, MD — September 28, 2026 - The National Aircraft Finance Association (NAFA) is proud to announce that Aero Law Center has joined its distinguished network of business and general aviation finance professionals.
Aero Law Center concentrates its practice on aviation and aerospace law. Its transactions group represents buyers, sellers, owners, lenders and operators in domestic and cross-border purchases, sales and leases of business jets and helicopters, and handles the groundwork that financed transactions depend on title and lien review, FAA registration, trust and entity ownership structures for U.S. and non-U.S. owners, fractional ownership, Part 91 and Part 135 operating structures, and sales and use tax planning. The firm also advises on mergers and acquisitions of aviation businesses, including charter operators and repair stations, and its compliance and litigation groups handle FAA regulatory, enforcement and aviation dispute matters. Both firms’ partners, Founding Partner Jonathan A. Ewing and Managing Partner Nada Ragland, are Board Certified in Aviation Law by The Florida Bar, a credential currently held by fewer than 50 lawyers. The firm has handled multi-million dollars in aviation transactions and represents clients throughout the United States and internationally.
NAFA President Bryan Byers welcomes Aero Law Center to the National Aircraft Finance Association. “We are pleased to welcome Aero Law Center to NAFA and believe their experience in Aviation Law globally will benefit NAFA members.”
“Aero Law Center is proud to become a member of the National Aircraft Finance Association,” said Nada Ragland, who leads the firm’s Transactions Practice Group. “A financed aircraft purchase goes smoothly when the ownership structure, title, registration and tax questions are resolved before the loan documents arrive. That is the work we do for our clients every day, and we do it alongside the lenders, appraisers, title and escrow agents and other professionals who make up NAFA’s membership. We look forward to contributing to the association and to being a resource for its members and the borrowers they serve.”
