Praised for its ability to combine sector knowledge with practical experience, Ganado Advocates‘ shipping and yachting practice is turned to by a variety of owners, operators and their financiers, which includes major Maltese airlines. As well as providing advice on aircraft registration, the group often advises on aircraft transactions and on aircraft security interests, and more recently, in 2024, the group has advised clients on aircraft arrests. Daniel Aquilina, who is particularly reputed within aircraft registrations and aircraft M&A, heads up the team with Matthew Xerri, who is ’knowledgeable on all matters involving Maltese law in aviation finance transactions.’
