Barbara Marrin’s practice focuses on aviation regulatory matters, including, but not limited to, advising U.S. and foreign air carriers as well as ticket agents on compliance with the requirements of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and other Federal agencies relating to the operation and sale of air transportation.
