Aviation expert Jennifer Trock joins Morgan Lewis as partner

Aviation expert Jennifer Trock has joined Morgan Lewis as partner in Washington, DC. She joins from Baker McKenzie where she served as chair of its global aviation group and led its advanced air mobility team. Trock will continue to advise commercial aviation and transportation clients on regulatory, commercial, transactional, investigation, and compliance matters.

“As the transportation and aviation sectors address rapid technological advancements and infrastructure innovation, businesses are confronted with fast-changing regulatory and commercial demands," said the firm's chair Jami McKeon. "Our clients look to us for discerning counsel who anticipate challenges and deliver practical, forward-looking solutions.

“With deep industry knowledge and multijurisdictional versatility, Jennifer’s addition expands our global aviation practice across teams in the United States, London, the Middle East, and Asia where we serve clients operating across international markets."

Trock's deep industry experience includes advising clients on aviation and aerospace transactions as well as airline certification ownership/control and antitrust, aircraft certification and manufacturing, supply chain, international aviation, public-private partnership, and corporate aviation matters.

Beyond traditional commercial aviation issues, Trock represents clients in emerging transportation areas such as uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS), electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL), and the future of transportation infrastructure. Among the first to represent clients in the UAS sector over a decade ago, she has a strong background in advising advanced air mobility stakeholders in a range of commercial, regulatory, and corporate matters across multiple jurisdictions. 

She is a board member of the International Aviation Club, a former chair of the American Bar Association’s forum on air & space law, and a member of the International Aerospace Womens Association.
