About
John Farrish
Attorney at Law
John combines his wealth of legal experience and love of aviation to shepherd aircraft sales and acquisitions for clients from start to finish and beyond. His experience with InFlight Law covers a range of markets, from new factory deliveries of large cabin ultra-long-range aircraft to high-performance pistons. John represents international and publicly traded companies to family businesses, entrepreneurs, and ultra-high net worth individuals and their family offices.
John has particular experience coordinating the import and export process, completing transactions to and from a multitude of countries including Canada, Mexico, Brazil, France, United Kingdom, Isle of Man, Germany, Russia, Switzerland, Portugal, Austria, Poland, Netherlands, Denmark, Cayman Islands, Qatar, India, Australia, China, Malta, Luxembourg, Norway, Ukraine, and Malaysia.
Immediately prior to starting InFlight Law, John was Vice President of Transactions and General Counsel for one of the world’s largest aircraft brokerage firms, guiding over 400 transactions in four years for owner-pilots and corporate flight departments. John was previously a partner at a national law firm, representing small business owners and Fortune 500 companies in civil litigation across state and federal courts. John has bench and jury trial experience and obtained wins for clients in international arbitration.
A sought-after speaker, John presents domestically and internationally on aircraft transaction best practices, nuances of the import and export process, and ethics. John is a Board Member of the Georgia Business Aviation Association (GBAA), and a winner of the National Business Aviation Association’s “Top 40 Under 40” award in 2020.
John is a Purdue Boilermaker, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Management. He earned his Juris Doctor law degree from University of Miami (FL). He is licensed to practice law in Georgia, Florida, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
He lives in Marietta, Georgia, with his high school sweetheart April and their five children. He spends his free time enjoying Georgia’s great outdoors, teaching Sunday school, and coaching his children’s sports teams (while he can still outrun them).
