Jay G. Maples is a shareholder in Dentons' Birmingham office, where he is a member of the Corporate practice and co-leads the Dentons US Region Aviation and Aerospace team. With his extensive corporate and tax experience, he regularly handles a wide range of complex transactions and issues spanning various industries, including aviation, manufacturing, insurance, banking and financial services, and real estate. Jay's exceptional knowledge and experience in the aviation industry enables him to provide clients with comprehensive advice on all aspects of aircraft ownership and operation, such as acquisition and disposition of all types and sizes of aircraft, tax planning, insurance analysis and claims, lending and securitization of aircraft, and the preparation and negotiation of ancillary agreements, such as pilot service agreements, hangar lease agreements, charter agreements, and maintenance agreements.

Jay's prior background as a CPA and 20-plus years of experience as a regulatory tax lawyer, a corporate deal lawyer, and general corporate counsel gives him a unique skill set that not only allows him to understand and navigate the complex FAA regulatory world governing aircraft transactions but also to be able to understand and advise clients on the related and ancillary issues and the broader corporate picture that drives aircraft transactions. Jay frequently speaks and writes on these areas as well as other corporate and tax topics.

Furthermore, Jay is a member of the Firm's Pensions, Benefits and Executive Compensation practice group. He has extensive experience in the employee benefits and executive compensation space, including proceedings before governmental agencies (IRS and DOL) concerning benefits and compensation matters.
