Paul A. Lange is an attorney with a worldwide aviation law and insurance practice, maintaining offices in New York City and Stratford, CT. He is an FAA certified Airline Transport Pilot who flew for a regional air carrier in the northeastern United States prior to entering law school. During and after law school, Mr. Lange worked first as a law clerk and later as an attorney in the FAA Eastern Region Assistant Chief Counsel Office located in New York. While in those positions, Mr. Lange prosecuted numerous and varied FAA certificate holders, including emergency revocation and large civil penalty against prominent airlines and repair stations. The Eastern Region's international oversight responsibilities also provided him with extensive exposure to enforcement actions against non U.S. certificate holders.
Following 3 ½ years with the FAA, Mr. Lange joined two successive large and nationally prominent law firms and was based in New York City. As an associate in the aviation insurance and litigation departments of those firms, he handled a variety of tort and commercial matters primarily for the aviation industry. After practicing in those positions for approximately 4 years, Mr. Lange started his own firm in 1992. He and his associates continue to practice in the areas of aviation related tort, commercial and regulatory matters. Mr. Lange has been widely published on a variety of aviation related legal topics and has spoken to numerous audiences nationwide and internationally on these subjects as well. He serves on the Boards of the New England Air Museum and the CT Business Aviation Association, is active in a number of well known aviation organizations and remains current as a pilot.
