As an aircraft owner, you must deal with various contracts on a regular basis. Whether it is a loan agreement, maintenance service contract, hangar agreement, dry lease, or any other type of legal document, you need to make sure your contracts are aligned with your insurance coverage.

A best practice is to have your legal counsel review all contracts. While we are not attorneys, we can review your contracts and advise you on how to best protect your interests and comply, to the extent possible, with the insurance requirements of the agreement. The AssuredPartners Aerospace team can also help you negotiate more favorable terms and obtain the required endorsements promptly for the party requesting.
