Biography

Ed Kammerer’s strategic approach enables his clients to pursue their business aircraft ownership and operating objectives.

Ed, Co-Chair of Greenberg Traurig's Aviation Group, describes his practice as helping to improve the lives of busy people, saving them time by facilitating their access to aircraft.
