I engaged Jean-Baptiste Charles at HFW for a complex contractual dispute involving an aircraft leasing agreement with a European counterparty. His unique background, practicing in both Paris and Indianapolis, proved invaluable. While the core of our business is in Indiana, the international dimension of the deal required nuanced understanding. Jean-Baptiste’s recognition in Aviation and Transportation Law was immediately evident; he expertly navigated the interplay between U.S. regulations and European contractual norms, preventing what could have been a lengthy and costly litigation. His strategic advice was precise, and he communicated the risks and pathways with exceptional clarity, making a legally dense situation understandable for our management team. The one area where our experience could have been slightly smoother was in the initial response times during the very early engagement phase, which occasionally required a follow-up. However, once the matter was underway, his attention was unwavering. For any business in the Midwest dealing with cross-border transportation or aviation issues, his dual-jurisdiction insight is a significant asset. We achieved a favorable settlement efficiently, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services.
