I Am a Lawyer

Why should lawyers join VAI?

1. To be featured in VAI’s legal directory. The legal directory is the centerpiece of VAI’s member-only legal resources platform. VAI members include more than 1,300 companies and over 16,000 professionals in the global vertical aviation industry.

• Only VAI member lawyers are eligible to be listed in the legal directory.
• Every lawyer in your firm is eligible to create a profile in the directory.

2. To demonstrate expertise to potential VAI member clients. Member lawyers are eligible to respond to questions submitted to the “Ask a Lawyer” forum and to contribute newsletter articles on legal topics of interest to members.

• Lawyers responding to Ask a Lawyer questions will be identified by name and firm name when the question and answer are posted.
• Lawyers contributing articles will be bylined.
