Milbank's Tax group plays a mission-critical role advising clients on the complex tax structures of space, transportation and telecom transactions.

Our Tax lawyers stand at the forefront of the aviation leasing industry, having pioneered many of the cross-border leasing techniques used in recent years. We lead the pack in aircraft lease financing, structuring a significant percentage of all commercial jet aircraft lease financings worldwide.

In the ever-evolving satellite and telecom market, our team has advised on the sourcing of space, ocean and international telecommunications income, tax-nexus and communications-excise-tax issues, and other specialized concerns.  

With a global reach, we offer comprehensive experience structuring cross-border leases, where deep familiarity with tax treaties, withholding requirements and other international tax ramifications is essential.

Industry recognition—we’ve earned accolades from IJ Global, Global Trade Review, Trade Export Finance, and a host of others for our leadership on deals.
