Stone LLP’s Airport and Aviation Practice represents clients in resolving airport-related construction disputes.
We also represent clients in grant assurance compliance enforcement proceedings before the Federal Aviation Administration under 14 C.F.R. 13 (“Part 13”) and 14 C.F.R. 16 (“Part 16”).
Part 13 and Part 16 actions are appropriate when corporate flight departments are unable to find hangar space at their local airport because hangars have been leased-out for non-aeronautical use (such as the storage of automobiles or the operation of a machine shop), when an airport has discriminated against one type of aeronautical use in favor of another (jet aircraft over single engine piston aircraft), or when an airport diverts revenue generated on the airport to off-airport use.
Our managing partner is a pilot and is uniquely qualified to understand and advise our clients on not just the law but the best legal strategy and approach.
Unique challenges arise in airport construction & development projects and each of these challenges carry their own set of issues. We typically see these issues arise in disputes between an airport’s sponsor and the various, and often competing, stakeholders. The airport and aviation lawyers at STONE LLP are experienced experts in public works construction dispute resolution including mediation, arbitration and litigation. Public works projects will trigger prevailing wage disputes, prompt payment penalty disputes, change order disputes, CEQA disputes and NEPA disputes.
STONE LLP is the aviation law firm of choice representing airport owners, airport lessees, aircraft operators, flight schools and pilot groups nationwide in FAA grant assurance compliance enforcement proceedings before the Federal Aviation Administration. Not only is our managing partner a pilot, he is also an expert on airport sponsor compliance and enforcement under the Federal Aviation Administration’s numerous Grant Assurance regulations.
