Morgan Lewis Welcomes Jennifer Trock to Expand Aviation Practice.
Morgan Lewis has announced the addition of Jennifer Trock as a partner in its Washington, D.C. office, continuing the firm’s expansion in the global transportation and aviation sectors. Trock, who joins from Baker McKenzie, where she served as the chair of its global aviation group and led its advanced air mobility team, brings vast expertise to the firm’s aviation and transportation practices.
Jennifer Trock will continue advising clients on a range of complex regulatory, commercial, transactional, investigative, and compliance matters within the aviation and transportation industries. Her deep understanding of these sectors, particularly in emerging technologies like uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) and electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL), makes her a key addition to Morgan Lewis.
Strengthening Global Aviation and Transportation Expertise
"As businesses in the transportation and aviation sectors face rapid technological advancements and evolving infrastructure, they are met with fast-changing regulatory and commercial demands," said Jami McKeon, Chair of Morgan Lewis.
"Jennifer’s extensive industry knowledge and versatility in multijurisdictional matters will expand our global aviation capabilities, particularly across the United States, London, the Middle East, and Asia, where we work with clients operating in international markets."
Trock’s experience spans the full spectrum of the aviation industry, advising airlines, aerospace manufacturers, advanced air mobility stakeholders, travel sector clients, and investors. She is well-versed in handling issues such as aviation transactions, airline certification, antitrust, aircraft certification, public-private partnerships, and corporate aviation matters.
Expertise in Emerging Transportation Areas
Beyond traditional commercial aviation, Trock has a pioneering background in emerging transportation technologies. She has represented clients in the UAS and eVTOL sectors for over a decade, providing strategic counsel on regulatory and corporate issues across multiple jurisdictions.
Jennifer Trock's work has positioned her as one of the leading figures in advanced air mobility, which is shaping the future of the aviation industry.
Trock also serves as a board member of the International Aviation Club and is a former chair of the American Bar Association’s Forum on Air & Space Law. She is also a member of the International Aerospace Women’s Association.
Enhancing the Firm's Litigation and Regulatory Strengths
Troy S. Brown, leader of Morgan Lewis’ global litigation practice, commented, “Jennifer’s in-depth understanding of aviation, from regulatory complexities to rapidly evolving technologies, makes her an invaluable asset to our clients. Her insight into advanced air mobility and traditional aviation subsectors equips her to help clients navigate new opportunities while addressing emerging challenges.”
