ACIA Aero Leasing, a provider of regional aircraft leasing and lease management services, hired Marina Litvak as general counsel.

“We’re very excited to welcome Marina onboard as we continue to enlist top-tier talent and build out our leadership team,” Mick Mooney, CEO of ACIA Aero Leasing, said.

Litvak is an asset finance solicitor with more than 15 years of experience in executing international and domestic asset and structured finance transactions, particularly in aviation and shipping.

“I am thrilled to be joining the leadership team at ACIA, and I look forward to leveraging my background and industry experiences to advance the company’s ambitious growth plans,” Litvak said.

Litvak joined ACIA Aero Leasing from Montrose Global, an asset-based investment company, where she most recently held the position of legal director with responsibility for overseeing the legal aspects of finance and operating leases, debt financing, acquisitions and disposals of aircraft, as well as structured sale and leaseback arrangements. She also managed general commercial contracts for the group.

Prior to Montrose Global, Litvak served as a solicitor in the asset finance department of Berwin Leighton Paisner, advising financiers, borrowers, owners and operators in the aviation and shipping industries on cross-border transactions.

Litvak began her legal career as a secondee solicitor with the asset finance legal team at Barclays. She is a member of BLP’s Aviation Industry Group and the Shipping Professional Network in London.

“Marina’s extensive transactional experience in the commercial aircraft leasing sector will further add to ACIA’s internal capabilities and support our expanding operations and presence in key markets,” Mooney said.
